About the Author

Jandy Nelson comes from a superstitious lot. She was tutored from a young age in the art of the four-leaf clover hunt; she knocks wood, throws salt, and carries charms in her pockets. Her debut novel, The Sky Is Everywhere, was on multiple Best Books of the Year lists, was a YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults pick, earned numerous starred reviews, has been translated widely, and continues to enjoy great international success. Jandy lives and writes in San Francisco, California – not far from the settings of The Sky Is Everywhere and her second novel, I’ll Give You the Sun.
