Susan Thomsen traces her love of nonfiction back to the days when she was mesmerized by such World Book entries as The Exoskeleton of Insects. She is positively thrilled with today's nonfiction bounty. Thrilled! Just ask her about Civil War submarines, P.T. Barnum, frog scientists, or growing up on Israel's West Bank–all of which were subjects in recent nonfiction for middle-grade kids and teenagers. Susan is the author of Elvis: A Tribute to the King, a book in the shape of a record. Nonfiction, of course.
