About the Author
Jacqueline Davies
Jacqueline Davies has been writing stories for children for over a decade. Her first book, Where the Ground Meets the Sky, was published in 2002. Four more books quickly followed: The Boy Who Drew Birds: A Story of John James Audubon (2004), The Night Is Singing (2006), The House Takes a Vacation (2007), and The Lemonade War (2007), which became available in paperback in 2009. Also in 2009, two more books were published: Tricking the Tallyman and Lost. There are four other books in the Lemonade War series: The Lemonade Crime (2011), The Bell Bandit (2012),The Candy Smash (2013), and The Magic Trap (2014). The Lemonade War is available from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in a Spanish language edition: La guerra de la limonda (2014). The book has also been translated into six different languages for sale in foreign countries.
In addition to her two sons, Ms. Davies has a daughter named Mae, and a dog named Harley. They all live together in Needham, Massachusetts, a town that used to have an ice cream store called The Big Dipper and that still has a town green where everyone congregates on hot days.
Ms. Davies was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1962. To figure out her age, just subtract 1962 from the current year (example: 2014 – 1962 = 52. Wow! That’s old!) Jessie can do that math in her head, but Evan’s smart enough to know that you shouldn’t tell an adult that they’re really old.
