My daughter "got me on to Shannon Hale" after she read "Princess Academy" and "Goosegirl", two of her favorite books ever. She read them when she was about 12 years old and about 3-4 years ago, when Shannon offered a non-profit writer's workshop in Salt Lake City, we went together. I snapped a picture of my daughter with Shannon and we listend to 8+ Utah children's authors tell us a bit about how they got into writing. We broke up into groups and had a blast, learning and listening to these remarkably talented writers.
Shannon has continued to be a favorite of my daughters, with her next few novels... she has more recently even written a graphic novel, "Rupunzel's Revenge". Her Goose Girl series is especially loved by girls aged 10+.
