ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m
Susie Nadler.
I was born and raised in San Francisco, where I still live with my husband and teenage twins. As a school librarian, I love that I get to spend so much of my time doing the best possible things: reading and talking to kids about books. I have an MFA from the University of Montana and was a Brown Handler writer-in-residence at the San Francisco Public Library. Lies We Tell About the Stars is my first book for young adults, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
