75 years old (Born on May 29, 1949)
Happy Birthday, Andrew Clements! May your day be filled with more joy than Nick Allen had inventing the word "Frindle," and may you celebrate louder than Jake Drake after acing a tricky test. Your stories have sparked imaginations brighter than Greg Kenton's entrepreneurial spirit in Lunch Money—earning literary awards faster than kids lose pencils!From Pets to the Rescue adventures that warmed hearts, to navigating life's ups-and-downs in Lost and Found—you've given readers countless reasons to smile (and teachers plenty of classroom discussions). Here's hoping this birthday brings as much excitement as Ben Pratt's thrilling escapades from We the Children. Cheers!
