Ever since the first grade, Jennifer Armstrong knew that she
would become an author. She loved making up stories and sharing
them with others. Her family treasured books and this led her to
become an avid reader of all types of fiction. It was no surprise
when she chose to study English and American Literature at Smith
College in Massachusetts.
Armstrong is the author of over 50 books for children from
kindergarten through high school. Best known for writing historical
fiction, she has also been successful in
creating picture books, easy readers, chapter books, young adult
novels, as well as nonfiction.
Armstrong, who grew up outside of New York City, now lives in
Saratoga Springs, New York.
Jennifer Armstrong is the winner of the Orbis Pictus Award for
Outstanding Nonfiction for Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World.
Many of her books have been designated as Notable Books by the
American Library Association and the International Reading
Association.
