Hello, and welcome to my        writing world!

My first novel, Prisoner 88, is now available. A ten-year-old in prison? This middle grade historical novel is set at the Idaho Penitentiary in 1885.

Prisoner 88, an Indies Next List pick, was chosen for the 2013 list of Notable Children's Books in the Langauge Arts by the NCTE. It was also chosen for the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book Award (DCF) 2014-2015 Master List. 

My first nonfiction book, How to Design a World-Class Engineering College:  A History of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University is also available.

For non-boring nonfiction, try my blog, A Wonder-filled Life, at leahpileggi.blogspot.com

Also, I'll be writing features for Carnegie Mellon's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.

Happy reading!
