Jennifer Bradbury and her book, Shift

Wednesday afternoon my brother Tim and I went to the library to hear an author talk to us about her book, Shift. Jennifer Bradbury's book is  about a cross country bike ride with two friends Win and Chris that are only in  high school!!! After their trip the FBI comes to Chris's house where they ask Chris if he knows where Win is and that is when Chris discovers Win is missing. 

The author told us what some her favorite books were. They included, The Book Thief, Skin, Hunger, and Feed. Our mom told us to ask at least one question. We were going to but one guy there was asking all of our questions. We also learned about the process of writing a book and the editor letters.

Jennifer Bradbury used to work at the Burlington High School and read her story to the kids. She is now a mother of a daughter who Tim and I babysat at our aunt's daycare. She has written two books and is in the process of writing her third book, a fantasy, about a British spy. Her first two books were more about her own  experiences. She has actually gone on a cross country bike ride with her husband.
