Lisa Schroeder is a native Oregonian which means her childhood summers were spent camping, fishing, reading books, and playing in the sun, when it finally came out. These days, Lisa spends her summers, and every other part of the year, sharing all of the wonderful things Oregon has to offer with her husband and two sons. She is the author of numerous books for kids and teens, including I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME and THE DAY BEFORE (Simon Pulse) and IT'S RAINING CUPCAKES (Aladdin).
