Zachary Zormer: Shape Transformer

Joanne Anderson Reisberg grew up in Minneapolis, is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and Macalester College, and has taught in Minneapolis and El Paso. She believes books are truly an integral part of an author's life. Her great grandfather served with a Minnesota Regiment in the Civil War which prompted her to write Save the Colors: a Civil War Battle Cry (2001). Her book Zachary Zormer Shape Transformer: A Math Adventure (2006), keeps her close to the classroom as they make Möbius strips. She is also the author of Webster's Coming Home Today (2007) published by Operation Outreach-USA, and is pleased with their strong mission of putting books in the hands of young readers. Zachary Zormer (2009) has also been published in the Korean language. She has just ventured into the eBook market with Escape to the New World (2012), a tween action/adventure novel on the high seas. Joanne received a Certificate of Achievement Award from the Writer's Digest (1997) and an ANA award from the University of Minnesota (2005). She has been published in national children's magazines and lives in Minneapolis with her husband, Bernie. When she is not writing, you can always find her with a mystery book nearby.
