Wishingrad, Alysa

Between Monsters and Marvels

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 unite us all. She is the author of Between Monsters and Marvels and The Verdigris Pawn, which was a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. Alysa lives in the Hudson Valley with her family, and two demanding rescue dogs and a cat-shaped dog, who are either monsters or marvels, depending on the day.
