About the author

Gloria Whelan

Gloria and her husband Joseph moved from Detroit to the woods of northern Michigan several years ago. Many of Gloria's books take place during the summer -- because she does a lot of her writing during the northern Michigan blizzards! Gloria has been telling stories for as long as she can remember. Before she could read or write, she used to dictate stories to her baby-sitter, who would type them out. Being an only child, many of Gloria's stories were about having a brother or sister. Gloria would like to have written Little Women, because Jo March was one of her role models growing up! Gloria once had a set of five guinea pigs, all named after Detroit Tiger baseball players!

Praise for Night of the Full Moon

"An exciting adventure sure to provoke strong feelings."--School Library Journal
"With quiet dignity, Whelan's simple story, based on a real event, conveys the Native American point of view concerning land ownership . . . Large typeface and the many appealing charcoal illustrations make the novel a good choice as a first chapter book, especially for young history buffs."--Booklist
"Told in simple, well-chosen language, this satisfying chapter book is as captivating as any in the Little House series, but far more exciting and thought-provoking with regard to historical events and the not-so-rosy aspects of settler-Native American relations."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
