Barbie

by Yona Zeldis McDonough, Mattel

With a colorful blend of nostalgia and whimsy, 'Barbie' presents this totemic figure as never before seen - in portraits of vintage figures and accessories and in vivid dioramas of the doll at work and play.

About the author

I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn and many of my novels take place here. But my new novel takes place in New Hampshire, and I have woven into it a historical component: the tragic story of Ruth Blay, who in 1768 was the last woman hanged in the state. When I read about Ruth, I was fascinated and horrified in equal measure, and I knew I had to write about her.
I was educated at Vassar College and Columbia University, where I studied art history. But I started writing fiction in my 20's and never looked back. I am the author of seven novels, 27 books for children and am the editor of two essay collections. I'm also the fiction editor of Lilith Magazine .

This book is full of bad stuff. It will mess up kid's brains and cause them do to drugs.
