The Time Hero (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523349692)

Gracie Graham was inspired to become an author when she was in first grade. She read many chapter books, including Narnia and Harry Potter. The choice of words and strong vocabulary made her want to do more with words, too. She had always loved writing stories, but had always considered herself more into paleontology. Then she realized: Why not do both? So she started writing stories and learning about fossils, dinosaurs, and other creatures abundant in the paleozoic and mesozoic eras. She wrote several stories, but none of them seemed right to her. Little did she know that she just hadn't found a topic interesting to her yet. Then she discovered science fiction, and she knew that that's what she should write about.
