Biography

Bradbury's work inspired Van Draanen to write How I Survived Being a Girl, which was published by HarperCollins in 1997.[2] Other early influences include Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and Encyclopedia Brown.
In college, the Van Draanen family business was burned down, leading to financial hardship. Wendelin turned to writing to alleviate stress and she published her first book in 1997, titled How I Survived Being a Girl.[3]
Van Draanen is the daughter of two chemists who immigrated from the Netherlands.
