Louise Hawes          

 Louise has written sixteen  books for readers of all ages, winning awards from the Children's Book Council, the Young Adult Library Services Association, the Center for Children's Books, the New York Public Library, and the  International Reading Association. What makes her proudest of all, though, are letters from readers like you:

Dear Ms. Hawes,

 I still have tears on my face from the powerful ending...Thanks for taking the time to read this and for writing such a powerful story."

Annie M.    

 Dear Ms. Hawes,   

One of the things I like about your book is that it is filled with all kinds of fiction. Have you ever thought of trying out for the Newbery?

Heath S.    

Dear Louise,

Just finished -- and you made me cry twice! In the middle, I zipped ahead to the ending, unable to bear the thought that Antonia might die, and I cried at the lovely, sad, hopeful ending, then went back and read through properly till the end, and cried all over again.

Elizabeth B.

Hey, Samu here, and I'd like to tell you what a great book you wrote.  I read the thing in something like thirty six hours, which is the fastest I've ever read a chapter book.  Huzzah.  Ding dong.  Bingo.  Whoop-whoop. Etcetra.  You're a fantastic writer, and I hope I'll get to read more of your books soon.

Sam G.
