Andrea Warren, author
Andrea Warren's nonfiction books link the past to the present, showing that young people called upon to behave heroically have that power within themselves, even in the worst of circumstances.
If you’re a first-time reader of one of my books, you’ll find information here that will help you learn more about it. Or if you’re interested learning about another of my books, prepare to travel back in time.
Each story views history through the eyes of brave young people who overcame daunting challenges, and who have much to teach us if we will only listen. What is true is that we can’t understand the present and prepare for the future unless we absorb the lessons of the past.
"If I can inspire students, that’s my greatest reward."
