Up Close young adult series was released:
Harper Lee by Kerry Madden
Hardcover 223 pages
ISBN 978-0-670-01095-0
I really enjoyed this book because I am a Harper Lee
fan and because it was extremely interesting and well written!
I did not feel I was reading a children's book.It was well researched
and as we all know without input by Ms. Lee.
Kerry reports that Miss Nelle said in a note to her;
" I may be old, but I'm not dead yet and biographies are for the dead"
We all hope she lives many more years and she will have written her
memoir for us to read! I would consider it as much of a blessing as I do
" To Kill A Mockingbird"
The quote I have under Ms. Lee's picture on my sidebar came from my
friend Kerry's book...................
If you are a Harper Lee fan, you will really enjoy this book!
Thank you Kerry for your hard work in bringing this book to print!
Kerry is also the author of a wonderful children's series about the Weem's
Family, set in the Appalachian town of Maggie Valley. I have ordered all three for my
granddaughter Taylor's birthday, she will be 11 on July 1st.
In other news.... two of my author friends are attending the Harper Lee festival in Monroeville
this weekend, Carolyn Haines and Terri DuLong, Author Rick Bragg will be presented with the 2009 Harper Lee Literary Award! Girls I am insanely jealous but still hope you girls have a great time!!
