"This moving story - for all ages - is about how Anne an underprivileged young woman awoke to life and learning the most famous woman of her time. Miss Spitfire is high drama about how language unlocks the world." ~ Richard Peck, Newbery-winning author of A Year Down Yonder
"An illuminating look into the life of Annie Sullivan." ~ Sue Stauffacher, author of Donuthead
"To read Sarah Miller's Miss Spitfire with your daughter or your son is to discover in a fresh, new way the miracle that brought together two of history's most brilliant and stubborn women. What an amazing, revealing book. It's definitely not for kids only!"
~ Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean

My friends would tell you I'm quirky, slightly obsessive, and rather irreverent. I majored in linguistics, minored in Russian, and was the undisputed fingerspelling champ in my ASL classes. I can also read Braille -- very, VERY slowly. A few of the things I like best: Anne Frank, opera, the Romanovs, cameras, daffodils, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ferrero Rocher chocolates, I Love Lucy, the Titanic, Bette Davis movies, and goofy socks.
I've had the good fortune to work at a very fine independent children's book store where I was up to my elbows in new and upcoming children's lit for six years.

A NOTICE TO POTENTIAL MySpace FRIENDS:
**************************************************
MISS SPITFIRE is a book aimed at kids as young as 9 years old. If you've got anything on your profile that isn't suitable for preteen eyes, I'm sorry, but I just can't add you.

spanking shakespeare was really good. and quite hilarious. looks like i'll have to go back to barnes & noble. i just wrote about 30 new YA titles down in my school planner, recommended from a teacher.
Thanks for the add. Hope you had a wonderful New Year. Good luck with your writing!
Keep your eyes out for my YA fantasy novel, Paraworld Zero. So far it's hit a couple of bestseller lists and placed in 9 contests. Have a wonderful day!
You must must must see the mini series! It is a great film. And, if you get the DVDs (do they even make VHS?) they have this amazing documentary on David McCullough, the author. It just makes you want to be his next door neighbor. I actually met him at a book signing, but of course, we only spoke for about two minutes. Maybe someday he will write back....
Sorry it took me a bit to comment back. I hope you had a fab Xmas/holiday/Hanukkah!
