***************

KATHLEEN VAN CLEVE grew up on a blueberry and cranberry farm in the Pine
Barrens of New Jersey, an environment so mystical and so specific that
it imbues most of her fiction. Her debut adult novel, CRANBERRY QUEEN
(Miramax Books, 2001), depicted a 33 year-old woman getting lost in the
Pine Barrens during the annual cranberry harvest. And now, in her first
novel for children, DRIZZLE, Van Cleve sets her story on a magical farm
where diamonds sprout from the ground, chocolate rhubarb flourishes, and
it rains every Monday at one o'clock. DRIZZLE was recently chosen to be
one of Indiebound's titles on the Spring 2010 Kids Indie Next List.
