(3) YA Joan Lowery Nixon, who began writing at an early age, recalls experiences from her childhood and young-adult years that influenced her craft. For example, performing puppet shows taught her about the importance of dramatic action, while investigating a new house instilled the elements of creating a mystery. Illustrated with black-and-white photos, the plainspoken book provides insight into Nixon's life and career.
