About the Author

K. Katie Lang-Slattery has had stories and articles published in several highly rated magazines for the youth market, including Spider, Ladybug, Jack and Jill, Boys’ Life, and Faces. She has also published an adult historical novel, Immigrant Soldier, The Story of a Ritchie Boy. Katie's children’s early-reader chapter books Tagalong Caitlin and Caitlin’s Buddy are about summer camp, friendship, goal-setting, and more. Katie’s travel memoir, Wherever the Road Leads, recounts two years driving across four continents in a VW van in the 1970s.

Ron Whitacre is a professional sculptor first and foremost. Most of the time, he creates wonderfully evocative work in welded steel. But he also loves to draw. His illustrations for Tagalong Caitlin and Caitlin’s Buddy are rendered in pen and ink and pencil. Ron’s charming animal mascots (lizards and squirrels) greet the reader at the start of each chapter, giving one more reason to keep turning the pages.

Editorial Reviews

Tagalong Caitlin is about growing up, about setting a goal and working to get there, and about sticking to it when the going gets tough. Young readers will love the outdoor setting and enjoy Caitlin's 'can-do' attitude as she tries to become just like the other campers.
