SpecificationsAbout the Author Gennifer Choldenko was born in Santa Monica California and was the youngest of four kids all of whom had big mouths. The only sibling who did not have the trademark Johnson big mouth was Gennifers sister Gina who had Autism. Her parents worked very hard to try to figure out how to help Gina but as Gennifer puts it: "being the parent of a child with severe Autism is like riding a unicycle in an earthquake." Since she was the youngest Gennifer spent a lot of time by herself making up words stories songs and jokes none of which made a lot of sense. After graduating from Brandeis University with a degree in English she went to work in advertising but stopped after realising that all of her work was beginning to sound like the that of a big mouth twelve-year-old... At which point she went to Art School but instead of getting her portfolio together she wrote her first novel she does her best work when shes supposed to be doing something else. Follow Gennifer at www.choldenko.com or on Twitter: @choldenkoAuthor 1 Gennifer CholdenkoBook Description A segregated town a hidden boy a courageous girl - and a mystery in desperate need of solving. San Francisco 1900. Thirteen-year-old Lizzy Kennedy is not like the other girls in her town. Shed much rather be helping her doctor father with his patients than be stuck in frilly dresses and learn how to dance - but unfortunately for her society and her Aunt Hortense has other ideas about what is proper for a young lady. This includes not poking your nose in others peoples business - but then Jing their beloved housekeeper gets stuck in the Chinatown quarantine. Fear rules San Francisco - fear of the Chinese and mostly fear of the plague rumours that circle them. Lizzie knows she has to help Jing whatever the warnings. But what she doesnt expect to find is a strange boy hiding in Jings room. The boy is called Noah. He says hes Jings son - although Lizzies never heard of him - and although hes escaped the quarantine he cant risk leaving the house in case he gets rounded-up too. Lizzie wants to investigate but it seems her questions only get people riled up. Is there really plague in San Francisco? What have the Chinese got to do with it? Just what or who is the mysterious monkey - and what has his secret got to do with anything? Lizzie will have to use all of her courage instinct and cleverness to unravel the mystery of the monkeys secret save Jing Noah and Chinatown - and maybe even her change her own destiny.Editorial Review A solid story of friendship mystery and one girls perseverance * Kirkus Reviews * This engrossing mystery perfectly balances heart and intrigue proving once again Choldenkos talent for packaging history within a story that kids are bound to love. -- Julia Smith * Booklist * Choldenkos latest features a fast-paced plot that will appeal to lovers of both mystery and historical fiction * School Library Journal Reviews * This book is a masterpiece ... wonderfully told and deserves praise galore. * The Guardian Praise for AL CAPONE DOES MY SHIRTS * [T]he book is hard to put down.
