About Madeline
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions regarding "tween", teen, and young adult literature and make recommendations about books you may like based on genres and authors you`ve read and liked in the past. I`m most familiar with fantasy (and science fiction, to a certain extent), but I`ve read plenty of other genres as well, and I will make an effort to find the answer to your question even if I don`t know it off the top of my head. However, I do not answer homework questions, so please don't bother asking them. Thanks!

Experience
I am an avid reader, and I am trusted by all my friends for my taste in books. I have read books in all of the following genres (though I do not claim to be an expert in all of them): fantasy (I term any book with a fantastical element to it to be "fantasy"), sci-fi, historical fiction, classics, realistic fiction, mysteries and whodunits.
