About the Author
Sue Corbett is the daughter of Irish immigrants and grew up in a Long Island neighborhood very similar to the one depicted in 12 Again. Ms. Corbett has worked as a journalist for fifteen years in Missouri, South Carolina, Florida and, now, Virginia, where she lives with her husband and their three young children. As anyone who knows her will tell you, she really is half-Looney. However, she has only been twelve once. (So far.)
Praise for The Last Newspaper Boy in America…
-Corbett+s graceful dialogue, lovingly drawn characters and clever plot form a timely and refreshing tale.+ -Publishers Weekly
