Alysa Wishingrad writes fantastical stories for middle-grade readers that she hopes help them to question their world, their place in it, and to hold onto the magic and power of inquiry as they grow up. Alysa’s 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. Her debut novel, THE VERDIGRIS PAWN (HarperCollins) was a JLG Gold Standard Selection. Her next upper mg fantasy (HarperCollins) will be out Fall ’23.
