About

Earl
is ready to do anything to avoid the meanest kid in school-even
if it means playing dead.
About
the Series
Barbara
Park's hilarious trilogy features the adventures of Maxie, Rosie,
and Earl-three kids who aren't about to let a loser label stand
in their way! Hailed as "one of the funniest writers around" by
Booklist, Barbara Park is the author of the Junie B. Jones series
and has won 25 Children's Choice awards.
About
the Author
Barbara
Park is one of today's funniest and best-loved writers for middle
graders. Her novels, which include Dear God, HELP!!! Love Earl;
Skinnybones; The Kid in the Red Jacket; and Mick
Harte Was Here, have won numerous children's book awards. Barbara
thinks that the wonderful thing about writing humor is that she
is able to deal with serious issues in a more lighthearted way.
Barbara's fans always want to know whether or not her characters
are based on her own children (she has two sons) -- in fact, they
are not. But having her sons has made it easier for her to know
how kids talk and think. What matters most to Barbara is that her
books are bringing a few smiles to her readers. Barbara lives in
Paradise Valley, Arizona, with her husband, Richard. She holds a
B.S. from the University of Alabama.
