Using her own experiences, the adventures of her sons and their friends and current events, she has become one of the most beloved and awarded children’s and young adult authors in Greece.Lena has received many honors, including the Athenian Academy “Ourani Institute Award” for her overall contribution to Greek Children’s Literature. For her though the greatest honors come from her readers who consider her the “Greek Judy Blume”. She even has a social media fan group in Turkey! Now we are sharing her work in English, giving more readers an inside look at what it is like to be a kid growing up in “modern” Greece.Lena’s stories talk about important social themes like economic inequality, diversity and trauma. Her sensitive, realistic and lens raises awareness and promotes tolerance while her humorous approach to navigating life’s dramas make her stories highly entertaining. Although she writes books for all age groups, her teen stories are her favorites. “People think Greece is “Modern” today, but in “Old World” Europe... Some things never change!” Lena would love to hear from you, contact her at: lenamerika.author@gmail.comver menos
