Hello! I'm the author of novels for middle grade readers (8-12) and young adults.

Coming soon! FURIOUS. April 2013 from Henry Holt. The Furies of Greek mythology are rising!

My debut novel, "What I Call Life" and its follow-up, "Home and Other Big, Fat Lies" revolve around the lives of kids living in foster care. I'm also the author of "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" (Henry Holt, 2009). It's about sudden death, sudden life.

This fabulous book reminded me a lot of the Serial podcast — in that it is a crime story but it is as much about the reporter as it is about the murder. The book is a fast read with surprising depth. I learned so much about journalism, therapy, famil ...more

Jill Wolfson liked Gwen Hubner's review of Furious: "I found Furious to be an incredibly satisfying YA book. Wolfson meshes together my favorite genres in a creative way that I have yet to find elsewhere.

An interesting idea that requires a large suspension of disbelief. For the most part, I found the story enjoyable and thought-provoking, though I sometimes sighed at the author's agenda -- so many chapters seemed forced to make a point about the need ...more

I'm a big fan of French's writing, her ability to make a crime story so rich in place and character. I couldn't put down The Likeness, despite the ridiculous premise; the characters were so compelling. This one, less so. After awhile, the rough edges ...more

Quotes by Jill Wolfson

“Fact: Cells are constantly dying and new ones are taking their place
Fact: After seven years have gone by, every cell in my body has died and a new one has taken its place.
Do the math. That means that every seven years, I'm a totally new me. not one of the old cells remains. Twice, I've had a total makeover”
― Jill Wolfson, Cold Hands, Warm Heart
