The Darer: Lara Zielin’s roots are in Wisconsin, and she’s proud to call herself both a cheese head and a Packer fan. All her books take place in the Midwest, including her debut novel, DONUT DAYS. During the day, when she’s not imagining she’s the superhero Cheese Woman (with a yellow, sparkly cape in a wedge shape) Lara works as the editor for an alumni magazine at the University of Michigan.

About DONUT DAYS (Putnam)

Donut Days

DONUT DAYS’ main character, Emma, has a lot going on. Her best friend’s not speaking to her, a boy she’s known all her life is suddenly smokin’ hot, she’s at a camp-out for the opening of a donut shop, and oh yes — her evangelical pastor parents may lose their church. And that’s just this weekend. Suddenly, sixteen-year-old Emma has to make some serious choices: creationism or evolution, faith or freedom, Harley bikers or Frodo wannabes, and of course, cruller or glazed.
