Maxwell's Mountain - Shari Becker

When he spies the BIG hill—make that a mountain!—in his neighborhood park, Maxwell is determined to climb all the way to the top. He has everything a true outdoorsman needs: climbing gear, a map, a first-aid kit, water, snacks, and his trusty toy soldier, Harry, by his side. But when Maxwell loses the trail, he must rely on his smarts to get back on track.

Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Shari Becker attended Concordia University’s well-regarded communications program. After graduation, she worked at a small film and television production company, but yearned to work in children’s T.V. So she moved to New York City in 1995 to pursue a Master of Arts in Children’s Media at New York University.

She worked at Nickelodeon as an Associate Producer after completing her degree and has written for kids and parents online, on-air and in print.
