Theme 2: American Stories

Meet the Author

Valerie Flournoy and her twin sister, Vanessa, were born just three minutes apart. But that doesn't mean they're alike: Her sister is organized and enjoys mystery stories, and Valerie is not very organized and likes to read historical books. Still, except for their first year in college, the sisters have always spent lots of time together. Even today, they play cards and games with each other.
