Kara Lareau is an American author who spent many years working as an editor before finally sitting down to write her own fiction. Lareau is known for works like the ‘Rastos Brothers’ series and the ‘Unintentional Adventures of the Bland Sisters’ books. Lareau always stood out. As a child, she only ever wore old clothes that had been donated to her by a distant relative. An avid fan of Shaun Cassidy and a regular follower of the TV Show ‘Donny and Marie’, Lareau wanted so badly to hang with the cool kids in school. But that was made difficult by her headgear which made even her feathered hair unappealing. It came as little surprise to her when he went virtually unnoticed by the boys. Though, Kara Lareau was not completely invisible. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Ratso Brothers Books series, Kara Lareau has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
