18 - year - old high school student Juliette Turner has been famous as a teen author since her three books came out.
Turner finished fourth grade in New York City,but then she and her mom moved to a large farm in Texas and started working with horses and cattle. “My mother and I were the only workers there,” Turner said.
Life on the farm provided Turner with rich experience. By sixth grade,she began writing about her own stories.
Turner loved learning about the US Constitution (宪法),and she wrote 90 stories about it. The stories became Turner's first book,Our Constitution Rocks,when she started ninth grade. Her second book,Our Presidents Rock,came out the summer after her second high school year. Finally,she went to work on That's Not Hay in My Hair.
This story was different from the former books and had a personal element (元素). “Everything that happened in the book actually happened in my life,” said Turner. In the book,Juliette Turner became Jules O'Connor.
Was Turner afraid to be hurt by snake,just like O'Connor? Students in the book played the tricks on O'Connor when they found hay in her hair. At school,did Turner get laughed at like O'Connor? “I'll leave them as open questions,” she said.
