They have two grown children, four grandchildren, one dog, and one cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeg's novels for children are regularly recommended by the American Library Association, the International Reading Association, and the Children's Book Council. She has won many state \"young reader\" or \"children's choice\" awards. Peg's characters are ordinary kids who find themselves in exciting situations and who use their wits to solve their problems. There is usually humor as well as suspense in her books. A long-time volunteer at The Humane Society, she often uses animals in her stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore she began writing books for children, Peg published plays, short stories, articles, and two books for adults. She is a frequent speaker at conferences for librarians and teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the age of twelve, Peg had polio and was paralyzed from the neck down. Because she can remember that experience and her year of recovery so vividly, she finds it easy to write in the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen year old. Most of her main characters are that age. Her autobiography, \u003cb\u003eSmall Steps: The Year I Got Polio\u003c\/b\u003e, won the Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers \u0026amp; Illustrators, and the PEN Center USA West Award for Children's Literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she is not writing, Peg likes to watch baseball, bake cookies, and pump her old player piano.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 7.74 x 5.15 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 20, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Runaway Twin\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle Grades, 4-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.7\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753730113824,"sku":"9780142418499","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/718662455534f7d955a9c0f79d578ee8.webp?v=1780026408","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/runaway-twin-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
