She wanted to to write children’s books since she started reading them.
Explanation:
She wrote her first novel when she was 10, and when no one wanted to publish it, she was sad for a little while but then just became more driven. She accomplished her goal in 2009, when her first two novels for 8-12 year-old's, <em>Standing for Socks</em>, and <em>The Trouble with Mark Hopper</em>, hit shelves.
