### Author Biography

**Stacy McAnulty** is a children's book author, who used to be a mechanical engineer, who's also qualified to be a dog therapist (is that a thing ), a correspondent for _The Daily Show_ (why not), and a Green Bay Packer coach (totally!). She has written dozens of books including her debut middle-grade novel, _The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl_, a Junior Library Guild Selection, and the 2017 Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor book _Excellent Ed_, illustrated by Julia Sarcone-Roach. She's also authored the chapter book series _Goldie Blox_, based on the award-winning toys, and _The Dino Files_.

Originally from upstate New York, she now lives in Kernersville, NC with her 3 kids, 3 dogs, and 1 husband.

**Wendy Leach** was born in the heartland of the United States and has very stubbornly stayed put. She currently lives in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City.
