Alysa Wishingrad writes fantastical stories for young readers, tales that ask: is the truth really true? Her favorite stories are those that meld the historical with the fantastic, and that find ways to shine a light on both the things that divide and those that unite us all. THE VERDIGRIS PAWN (a 2021 Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection) was her debut novel. BETWEEN MONSTERS AND MARVELS will be released on 9/12/23.

Alysa lives in the Hudson Valley with her family, two demanding rescue dogs, and a cat shaped dog.
