Author Information

Karen Isaacson has spent her entire life surrounded by talented and artistic siblings, parents, and grandparents, and some of their talent may have rubbed off. She finds time to write in between soccer games, band and choir concerts, drama practices, naps, and checking to make sure that her daughter's iguana hasn't escaped and is running loose around the house again.
