Highlights
Lois Walfrid Johnson is the author of more than 30 books for adults and children. Her work has been published in English-speaking countries throughout the world, translated into 12 languages, and brailled for the blind. A former public school teacher and instructor for Writer’s Digest School, Lois is a nationally recognized motivational speaker and teaches writing to children and adults in a variety of situations. She has received reader mail from 46 states and 22 countries. “Each novel stands alone, but each series is best read in sequence to see the growth in characters and friendships. All of my books reflect family values, and my carefully researched historical backgrounds give children rich insights into other ways of life. To appeal to both boys and girls, as well as average, gifted, and reluctant readers, I include a mystery in each book and cliff-hangers at the end of every chapter.”
