Laura Schaefer

Children's author of The Teashop Girls and Planet Explorers Travel Guides for Kids

"One of my favorite books is I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith. I really related to the thoughtful narrator in this classic coming-of-age tale as she struggled with her first love, a difficult family and her writing dreams. I would recommend it to both young readers and adults; it's a beautiful book."
