Alice-Miranda In New York 5 (25 page)
Jacqueline Harvey has spent her working life teaching in girls' boarding schools. She's never had an art lesson at the Met but she has come across quite a few girls who remind her a little of Alice-Miranda.
Jacqueline has published eight novels for young readers. Her first picture book,
The Sound of the Sea
, was awarded Honour Book in the 2006 CBC Awards. She is currently working on Alice-Miranda's next adventure.
