Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by! My
name is Danette Haworth and I
write books for young people.
My newest novel, The Summer of Moonlight Secrets, comes out in hardcover May 25th, and I can't wait for you to read it! Here's what Barbara O'Connor said after turning the very last page:
"The Summer of Moonlight Secrets is like nothing I've read before: the perfect combination of intrigue, suspense, humor, and folklore.

Barbara O'Connor, author of How to Steal a Dog and Fame and Glory in Freedom, Georgia

Stabbed my father through the back with a fire poker he did, then proceeded to rough up me mum. She fainted, she did, and he left her for dead, but I knew it well that she was given to these spells, being in the family way.
The red devil swiped me up, booty for the woman he fancied. Ay, but I was a lucky lad, for a good heart she had and treated me like her own flesh and blood. Fed me good and I grew up strong and that devil came back and stole me from the only ma I ever knew.
