I couldn't tell you how accurate the forensic aspects of the story are, simply that they managed to gross me out and fascinate me all at the same time.
Which I should have seen coming, but didn't, and it creeped me out more than I should admit, considering I haven't read any of the other books in the series. I need an option between like and really liked it, simply because the book waffled back and forth between good and so-so until the end. Alane won the Children's Crown Classic Award for CRICKET ANDTHE CRACKERBOX KID, the American Bookseller's Association's "Pick of the List" for her picture book entitled THAT NEW PET, and has been on numerous ALA Recommended Books for Reluctant Young Readers and Young Adult's Choice list. She received a 2007 Edgar nomination for her young adult novel, THE CHRISTOPHER KILLER, the first in the Sleuth Forensic Mystery series. A recipient of the 1990 Edgar Allan Poe Award as well as the Belgium's Children's Choice Award for her young adult novel SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE, Alane was also a nominee for her third young-adult mystery, POISON. WOLF STALKER was nominated for the 1998 Mystery Writer's of America's Edgar Allan Poe Award and the newest and 13th book in the series, NIGHT OF THE BLACK BEAR, was launched in spring of 2007. Their novel, WOLF STALKER, was the first work of fiction National Geographic had published in its as of then 109 year history. Alane and her mother co-authored a series for National Geographic. Her mother has written over fifty-seven books for children, while Alane is currently completing her thirty-second. Later, Alane became interested in writing for children, mostly, she says, to follow the example of her mother, successful author Gloria Skurzynski. She attended the University of Utah and Westminster College where she studied journalism. Alane Ferguson was born in Cumberland, Maryland, in 1957.
