Has anyone heard of this author?

Her name's Sue Corbett and she writes Middle School novels. She is the author of 12 Again, Free Baseball, and Last Newspaper Boy in America.

Anyway I was Just wondering if anyone knew her.

I haven't heard of her before now, but she hasn't published much. Even some of the best writers aren't very well known until their seventh or eight books.

Is she an author you would recommend?

Yes, she is a really good author, although, as I said, her books are geared tword Middle school.
