What if the start to your day was falling into the toilet, that caused you to miss your carpool, that in turn caused you to get to school late, thatultimately caused you to miss getting one of the decent parts in the upcoming Thanksgiving play?
That is exactly what happens to fourth-grader Jelly Bean on the day we first meet her.Things only go downhill from there and no one at home seems to have much time for her.Except Roger-Over, her beloved dog.
Ms. Amy Meislin Pollack has been writing as long as she can remember. From the time her fourth-grade teacher used to call her up to the front of the class to tell impromptu stories about a mischievous little girl named Jelly Bean, to her beginning to write down these stories. Throughout her many years of teaching many grades and many subjects (from elementary through college) through raising three children, she has always told stories, and continued writing them down.
She currently lives with her husband in central New Jersey, and enjoys reading, writing, walking, and spending time with her husband, her children and six grandchildren.
