Lenore Look began making picture books in kindergarten, and it took her the next thirty years to get it right. Her first book was finally published in 1999, followed by more picture books and two chapter book series. On good days, she's a regular writing machine. On bad days, she goes shopping. Her Alvin Ho series has turned her into a Red Sox fan (see photo), and a wearer of Sox paraphernalia (see photo), and a collector of Fenway Park trivia (see same photo). Her Ruby Lu series is set in Seattle, where she grew up, and makes her long for foggy mornings and slugs on the sidewalks. She currently lives in New Jersey.

I can't find enough information from reliable sources to let me know if selling shrunken heads i...

Cute story. I finished it in one sitting, less than an hour of reading time. If my library has the other Ruby Lu books, I'll check them out sometime soon. A not completely unrelated note: I have complicated feelings about Lenore Look. Follow this link for more on that (content warning: stereotypic...

I wanted to read the 2013 installment in this series, but this digital copy of the 2009 book was available at the library for my Kobo. I expect the series is consistent, so I'll go with this one for now. The three best things about this book: 1. Look doesn't 'cure' Alvin of his phobias; 2. She never...
