Margaret Peterson Haddix is the author of many science-fiction books, such as the Shadow Children and Double Identity, but she's also written books about the past, like Running Out of Time, which is about a 13-year-old girl named Jessie who has lived in the 1800s for her entire life, only to find out that it's really the 1990s, and that she has lived in a frozen time period for the first 13 years of her life, and Uprising, which is a book I haven't read yet, but I'm hoping to soon. She's also written children's books like Say What? and Dexter the Tough.
