Mary Casanova
Mary Casanova
| Mary Casanova is a popular Minnesota writer known for her books, speaking engagements, and classroom visits. She is an award-winning children's author of 20 books, from picture books to novels. Many of her books stem from her life on the Minnesota-Canadian border; other stories have taken her as far away as France, Belize, and Norway for research. |
| Whatever the setting for her books, Mary says, "When it comes to writing for children, I'm passionate about two things: writing books that matter and writing books that kids can't put down." |
| Mary's most recent book, The Klifish Code, is a suspenseful midd-grade novel about a Norwegian girl who comes to understand how moral choices are not clear-cut during a time of war. |
| Other notable books by Mary Casanova include One-Dog Canoe, Cecile: Gates of Gold, Stealing Thunder, Moose Tracks, and When Eagles Fall. Mary lives in a 100 year-old house in northern Minnesota with her husband, Charlie, and three dogs. |
