Joanna Monigatti writes fast-paced sci-fi adventures for middle-grade and young adult readers, blending space exploration with humor, robots, and heart. Her debut, Attack on Planet Falrus, has captivated early readers and is the first of a trilogy. Inspired by her background in physics and a lifelong love of space exploration, Joanna writes stories that celebrate curiosity, courage, and unlikely friendships. When she isn’t writing, she works as a physician in Switzerland and enjoys running, cycling, and spending time with her family and their mischievous kittens.

The Coup, the Confusion, and the Kid’s POV

When I was a child, my country went through a coup d’état. Not the cinematic kind with tanks rolling down avenues, but the quieter and arguably more unsettling kind: borders closing, radio silence, anxious parents, and an entire neighbourhood behaving as if life might snap at any moment.
When you’re a kid, you don’t understand geopolitics — you only understand mood.

message 1: by Ali

Ali Hazelwood Hi Putri,

It’s lovely to connect with a fellow author here. Your book really caught my attention, and I found myself genuinely drawn into the world you created. As a writer, those moments always stay with me. My own journey began in academia, and storytelling became a way for me to explore emotion, curiosity, and connection beyond the page. I’m always fascinated by what sparks that first urge to write, what inspired you to begin telling stories, and what keeps you writing now? Since Goodreads no longer supports direct messaging, I’d be happy to continue our conversation via Gmail if you’re open to it. Please feel free to share your email address, or you can message me directly at alihazelwoodauthor@gmail.com

Warm regards,
Ali
