I’m the author of 10 young adult novels, all published by Penguin, with an 11th under contract with Candlewick. I write contemporary realistic fiction (including the National Book Award finalist The Rules of Survival), fantasy (including the New York Times bestseller Impossible), and suspense (including the Edgar award winner The Killer’s Cousin). I’ve been a judge for the Edgar awards and for the National Book Awards. I’ve mentored for 7 years at the Highlights Whole Novel workshop, which is how I know how much I love working with a writer on what their completed novel might need to make it shine the brighter.
