Tom Angleberger ("Rise of the RoboShoes?") began writing his first novel in eighth grade, but never completed it. Since then, he's been a newspaper reporter and columnist, a juggler, a weed boy, a lawn-mower-part assembler, and a biology research assistant. This bestselling author insists he's not really all that creative-"I'm more of a puzzle-putter-together."
