The author of the book Girl, Stolen is April Henry. She is 55 years old. Born in Portland, Oregon on April 14, 1959. April is an American New York Times bestselling author of mysteries, thrillers, and young adult novels. She (so far) wrote 12 books. April Henry wrote the books Circles of Confusion, Square in the Face: A Claire Montrose Mystery, Heart-Shaped Box, Learning to Fly, Buried Diamonds, Shock Point, Torched, Girl, Stolen, The Night She Disappeared, The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die, and The Body in the Woods. Her top 5 most popular books are Girl, Stolen, The Night She Disappeared, Shock Point, The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die, and The Body in the Woods. It seems like she likes to write about mystery and thrillers because most of her books are about people going missing or like it seems, killings. When she was just 12 she wrote a story. Ronald Dahl read it, had a meeting with an editor, then the editor asked to publish it.
I imagine April Henry to be very interesting to talk to. Her story that Ronald Dahl read was about a tall frog, who liked peanut butter. It seems like she is just so creative. I wonder what she was thinking of when she wrote all these books. Also to me it looks like all of her books are about girls. So I wonder if these books connect to her life.
I love the blog Dina- Diana, I loved the book Girl Stolen I do find it weird that all her books are about girls, I do wonder if the books have any relation with her also! I hope you read her other books I want to read the book The Girl Who Was Supposed To Die badly
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to have boy characters in my books: Girl, Stolen, The Night She Disappeared, and the Body in the Woods all have boys in them. Next year's book, Blood Will Tell, is almost all from the POV of a boy. But girl stories will always attract me. Most of my books are inspired by real life newspaper stories, and the ones I relate to and wonder what I would do if I were in that situation involve girls.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for commenting on my blog! I cant wait to read more of your books. I'm looking forward to your new book, Blood Will Tell. Also that's very interesting that you write most if your books on real life people. I also try to think, what i would do if I was in that situation too. Thanks again!
