About the Author
The author, Arthur Sharenow, is a storyteller. For most of his life he spent summers in what he considered his own Shangri-La, a children’s summer camp, which he ultimately directed for nearly four decades. As a camp director his love of stories was reflected in his creation of Special Events, most of which asked more of his campers’ imagination than it did physical ability.
After his retirement from camp, Arthur turned to writing. His 37 Summers was an entertaining anecdotal recreation of his years as a camp director. Next came his novel, Summer Camp Uprising, where he took his readers into the minds of three characters, all of whom had their own idea of how to run a summer camp. He describes his latest novel, The Secret Island Lost in Time, as a new world of adventure filled with surprises both for his characters and for the readers.
