Lauren Kessler, who teaches creative non-fiction to grad students at the University of Oregon in Eugene, spent the last eighteen months studying her teenage daughter’s life–with her daughter’s permission, and perhaps even encouragement. Can you imagine your teenage daughter agreeing to let you follow her around all day long to find out what and who affects her life? Lauren and her 12-year-old daughter, Lizzie, made an agreement; and Lizzie was in control. Lauren explains how they came to that agreement. It’s a fun, informative, and and at times uplifting book, My Teenage Werewolf. (And she means that in the nicest way possible.) Lauren won a Book Award from the Northwest independent bookstores in 2008 for her previous book, Dancing with Rose.
