about this author
I’ve been writing most of my life, but decided about five years ago to focus exclusively on stories for children and young adults. My debut novel, Mudville, was published in 2009 by Knopf. My second novel, Mamba Point, will be published next year.

Kurtis said:
"This book is not super scary, but it does have the right ingredients of a thriller for young people mixed up with a little romance, some middle school politics, and a touching family drama.
