KATHRYN LASKY
Schoolastic says:When doing research for a book, Lasky usually begins in the children's room of the public library. . "I love doing research," Lasky says. "It's really fun. It's like a treasure hunt." There is no difference whether she is writing about a fictional character, such as in The Journal of Augustus Pelletier: The Lewis and Clark Expedition, 1804, for the My Name is America series, or a real character, such as in Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor, England, 1544, for the Royal Diaries series. "My responsibility as a My author is to write with authenticity and accuracy and it does not vary whether the character is real or fictional," states Lasky.

Why did she write Wolves of the Beyond?Kathryn really liked her Guardians of Ga' Hoole series, and wanted to see the same world from another kind of animal's point of view. The ideas soon became stories, and eventually a whole other series, Wolves of the Beyond.
