Her books are based on her life, with Baskin feeling as though she'd been writing about the same character much of her life.[6] At first, Baskin began by writing fiction for adults, and had been trying to get published for around five years.[7] During a writing course she took, a woman suggested she try writing for children and Baskin changed her target audience.[7] In 1999, the story she felt had been inside of her, of the "sad motherless little girl" became part of her first published novel, What Every Girl (Except Me) Knows.[6] In her novel, Surfacing, Baskin describes grief and how for even small children a family tragedy can "scab over into guilt and blame," according to Kirkus Reviews.[8] Baskin is the winner of the Cuffie Award from Publishers Weekly for Most Promising New Author.[9] Her book, The Truth About My Bat Mitzvah, was a 2008 Jewish Book Council Network selection.[4] In 2010, she won the American Library Association's (ALA) Schneider Family Award for her book, Anything But Typical. This article was edited by Wikipedia[10] Baskin teaches writing and literature in a school. She also does writers' workshops for middle school.[11] She lives in Weston, Connecticut with her family.[12] Books
