Nancy Allen

Nancy grew up in Kentucky halfway between Troublesome Creek and a mountain town named Hazard. After one peek into a school library, she leaped into a profession that stuck—librarian. She graduated from Morehead State University and the University of Kentucky with master’s degrees in both Education and Library and Information Science, respectively. She has penned fifty-three books. In Spooner, Tony Spooner carries on the family tradition of his long-ago cousin, William, as he wraps his tongue around words that spill out of his mouth, twisted and warped. The more concerned and upset Tony becomes, the more he twists words. Tony wants to win a trophy, any type of trophy. When a bully pushes him too far, his twisted words create havoc and a way to outwit the bully.
