M. P. Barker worked as a costumed historical guide in Massachusetts for nearly ten years. She received a firsthand taste of nineteenth-century New England rural life by milking cows, mucking out barns, and doing other tasks that helped her bring realism and immediacy to A Difficult Boy, her first novel. The manuscript for A Difficult Boy won the 2003 PEN New England Children's Book Caucus Discovery Award. Learn more at mpbarker.net.
