Mary Boone has ridden an elephant, jumped out of an airplane, hung out backstage with a boy band, and baked dozens of cricket cookies – all in the interest of research for her books and magazine articles. She’s written more than 70 nonfiction books for young readers, ranging from inventor biographies to how-to craft guides.
Mary grew up in rural Iowa. Prior to writing books, she reported and edited for several daily newspapers.
She now lives in Tacoma, Washington, with her husband, Mitch, and children, Eve and Eli. Mary loves being outdoors, reading, and hanging out with her very energetic Airedale Terrier, Ruthie Bader.
I read this book back in fourth grade for a project in school. It was very helpful for my biography display of Hilary Duff. We were supposed to do a celebrity, see. It was very interesting and explained a lot about Hilary's life story. It had some great pictures and there were new designs on each page. Hilary Duff: Total Hilary, Metamorphosis, Lizzie McGuire, and More! was very good. I'd buy it if you want to learn more about Hilary Duff. 4/5 stars.
