I truly am moved by this astounding work of art that Nancy Farmer has created. This is a book worth anyone's time and effort, and a treasure to be remembered by all. The House of The Scorpion is an ingenius book that no author can ever try duplicating. She has this flow and way of how her words appear on the paper that just takes everyone to the next level. I cannot say there has been a better book before. I hugely congratulate Nancy Farmer for her works, and will be expecting just as exciting novels from her in the near future.

Hi Bridget,

Where possible, we provide a link to the author's website (in the More About Author section in the Author pages), which may provide an email address. In the case of Nancy Farmer, this information isn't available, so, the established, albeit slow, method for contacting her would be to send a letter c/o her publisher, Simon & Schuster.

Warmly,
Amber

Hello, I am 15 and have been assigned this book by my teacher for my Honors LIT program. I am entranced by this book. It is wonderful simply because of the great flow, the plot is always interesting, and it is just wonderful. I read it in its entirety within 2 days. GREAT book, 5/5.
