Where Literary Legends Are Born

And This is Laura

Ellen Conford’s young adult novel originally published in 1977 is coming back to shelves with a new edition by Lizzie Skurnick Books. And This Is Laura (July 2014) is the hilarious story of an average girl in a family of overachievers who learns she’s not so average. Laura’s oldest brother composes his own music and is a debate team champion; her sister is a star actress and bowler; her youngest brother is in the process of counting to a million. Laura? She’s just an ordinary twelve-year old—that is, until she discovers that she can see the future.
