    Author

    Mary Shelley

    La autora es sobre todo conocida por este título, que creó con apenas 18 años y cuando se encontraba de vacaciones en compañía de otros amigos e intelectuales. Lord Byron, el anfitrión, propuso entonces un concurso literario: cada invitado debía escribir una historia con tintes sobrenaturales. De aquí surgió nuestro famoso Frankenstein, germen de la novela gótica y de terror, pero que Shelley no volvería a cultivar. El resto de su obra transitó entre el ensayo biográfico, la literatura de viajes o la novela histórica (Valperga, Perkin Warbeck) y la apocalíptica (El último hombre).

      Dear Rock Star Reader,

      Books are like amusement parks, and this one here is a roller coaster. As you begin your reading adventure, I just want to chime in and say get ready for an incredibly amazing experience reimagining some of your favorite books. That’s right: between the pages of this book, Ghostwriter is bringing your favorite characters to life to help solve a mystery. How cool is that?

      I bet you think that because I’m an author, I love to read. Well, you’re right! In order to become a good writer, you gotta be a great reader. Every time you read a meaningful or magical poem or story or really clever post, you’re instantly transformed and sometimes transported to new ideas and worlds: sports arenas, foreign lands, outer space, other times in history, and even other kids’ lives. But I wasn’t always that way.

      When I was twelve, I thought reading was uncool. Why? Because my dad chose huge, boring books he thought I should read. After a few years of that torture, my mom encouraged me to pick out my own books at our local library, and I found my way back to finding reading cool. (I guess you could say I started choosing my own rides at the amusement park.) Then I started reading everything—chapter books, short stories, comic books, biographies, and, of course, poetry. Ghostwriter, like my mom, believes that there’s a perfect book for every kid out there. And the one you’re reading could be yours.

      I love getting lost in a good story, and there are so, so many great stories out there just waiting for you. Our friend Ghostwriter is gonna help you find them—and then rock your world one page at a time.

      I thank you for your attention, and I’m outta here!

      Poet, Educator, and Newbery Medal–winning author of The Crossover
