  2. Biography Margaret Peterson Haddix was born in 1964. She grew up in Ohio, on a farm. She attended Miami University and received a Bachelor of Arts in creative writing and journalism. She first worked in Fort Wayne as a newspaper editor, and then moved on to later be a newspaper reporter in Indianapolis, and a college instructor and freelance writer in Illinois.

  3. Turnabout Melly and Anny Beth are on their deathbeds in 2000, when a couple of scientists get them to agree to let them test a new formula that will make them younger again on them. It works, but the formula that is supposed to stop the reverse aging doesn’t. This means that they will continue to age in reverse until… Well, we don’t know for sure. Anxious and confused, Melly and Anny Beth have to make their way through life in the 2080’s. They have to find someone who will take care of them when they get to be small children again. However, they need to do this without getting the word out that they are aging in reverse, because they don’t want to be overwhelmingly famous for the rest of their lives. Distrustful of the agency that took care of everything for them, they manage to find a relative of Melly’s that surprisingly, lives in the house that Melly lived in for her first childhood.
