INTRODUCTION

The author of over one hundred books, Lasky is a versatile writer as equally capable of crossing literary genres as catering to diverse sets of audiences. Demonstrating continued adaptability, her canon includes works in such varied genres as historical fiction, science fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, and picture books—among many other fields—meant to appeal to a broad cross-section of readers from pre-schoolers to adults. From her historical re-imaginings of the American Gold Rush, the Salem witch trials, and the life of Marie Antoinette to her contemporary stories of children dealing with censorship and anti-Semitism to the fantasy-driven events of her ongoing "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" series, Lasky regularly reinvents herself and defies critical expectations.
