Carol Matas

I am the author of over 45 novels for young people. A brand new updated and revised edition of "Cloning Miranda" is just out! It combines all three books in the Cloning Miranda series into one novel. And for my readers in the United States this is the first time the book has been available although it was a big hit in Canada and in Germany! Miranda is normal teenager - or is she thinks. Until she becomes gravely ill and the secret about who she is and what her parents did is revealed. It's a thriller, but will give you something to think about too. Like what does it mean to be human? Also check out my historical novel, "Tucson Jo". Like many of my other books it is an historical novel for grades 5-9, set in Tucson, Arizona, 1882. I love to write in all genres but am probably best known for my books about The Holocaust, like "Daniel's Story," written for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. These stories are important for young readers who might not realize the horrors that happened in a civilized country and in a civilized world. I also have written other historical novels like "The Burning Time" about women who were persecuted as witches, or "The War Within" set during the American civil war. "Of Two Minds" is a fantasy that has been reissued written with my sometime co writer Perry Nodelman. We have just reissued the entire series and it is available on amazon now. For those of you who love science fiction check out "The Edge Of When."
