About Avril Lavigne:

Yvonne's biography of Avril Lavigne became available early in 2007. It includes information about Avril's childhood, how she got her recording contract, the issues she encountered making her first CD, and her fast rise to fame. It also details her recent films and other projects. Yvonne used hundreds of articles as well as interviews (such as with former drummer Matthew Brann) to research Avril's story.

About  Publishing:

What's it like to have a career in book publishing? Here's an inside look at the role of writers, literary agents, book editors, designers, and sales people in this field. Publishing explores what each job entails, the required skills, and some suggested preparation for each of these careers. Although intended for a middle grade audience, this latest book in Lucent's "Careers for the Twenty-First Century" series will also be of value to others interested in the book publishing industry.
