About the Author
Anica Mrose Rissi grew up on an island off the coast of Maine, where her penchant for telling and collecting stories began. After graduating from Yale University with a degree in American Studies, she moved to New York City, where she worked as a cheesemonger and book editor. When she isn't writing, Anica may be found fiddling in the electro-country band Owen Lake & the Tragic Loves or walking with her dog, Arugula, near their home in Princeton, New Jersey. Anica is the author of several books for younger readers, and her essays have been published by The Writer and the New York Times. This is her YA debut. Visit her online at anicarissi.com.
