Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Tui? What kind of name is that? Is it short for something?
Nope. Among the many great things to come out of New Zealand (the Lord of the Rings movies, cats that paint, my mom) is a bird called the tui—not as well known as the kiwi, but a heck of a lot noisier!
I was born July 31 (same birthday as Harry Potter!) in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived in Asuncion, Paraguay; Miami, Florida; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before moving to New Jersey in high school, where I started doing theatre—mostly backstage work, because (a) it was fun, and (b) you got to hang out in the dark with cute boys. (Er, I mean . . . because it was artistically fulfilling, yes.)
I graduated from Williams College in ’98 and I currently live in Boston with my husband, my perfect new baby, and my adorable yoodle Sunshine (what’s a yoodle? A puppy that’s three-quarters poodle and one-quarter Yorkshire terrier, of course!).
Much to my parents’ relief, I abandoned my theatrical aspirations after college for the far more stable and lucrative career of fiction writing.
My first two official books were beginning readers, part of Grosset & Dunlap’s “First Friends” series for kids learning to read. MEET MO AND ELLA is tough to find now, but FUN WITH MO AND ELLA should still be out there somewhere.
My first novel for teenagers was THIS MUST BE LOVE, which retells Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a modern-day high school, from the POV of the two heroines, Hermia and Helena.
And now I'm writing in a new project called SEEKERS! It's a children's book series that I'm writing with Erin Hunter. Check out my blog to find out more!
I would put each individual book in, but as you can see, there are over 14.
I would say this series is boring as a teenager but if you read it when you are in third grade or so, it is a very unique, and once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. Definitely try to read it at least once in your life!
My girls really got into these books. They're pretty fun adventures. They're divided into groups of 5. The last group of 5 brings up some gender and sexuality ideas that was a little forced into the storyline and got my girls a little confused about why they were talking about this. We had some conversations on it but nothing bad.
Incredible series! Lots of character development, which was especially noticeable in Winter! I would recommend this series to anyone, even adults! The whole other island that turned out not to be a myth was a great add to the series!

My kids and their friends are obsessed with these dragons, so I started reading them to see why. I thought I'd just read a couple of the books, but I ended up reading the main series, the Legends, and the Winglets. They really are great stories! My daughters love that I understand their references and jokes and can discuss the characters with them.
