Acerca de los autores

Karen Hesse lives with her husband and their two daughters in Williamsville, Vermont, less than twenty miles from an active nuclear power plant. After watching a television documentary on Chernobyl, she could not shake the images of nuclear disaster and its consequences. "I began to wonder how a radioactive leak would affect my family, my neighbors, our relationships with each other and with the rest of the world," Ms. Hesse says. These disquieting reflections--and a great deal of research--culminated in Phoenix Rising.

Karen Hesse is the author of Letters from Rifka, winner of the Christopher Medal, the National Jewish Book Award, an ALA Notable Book, and an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. Some of her other books for young readers include Wish on a Unicorn, Lavender, and Sable.
