Wendy Mass

Wendy Mass is the  New York Times  bestselling author of eighteen novels for young people (which have been translated into 20 languages and nominated for 76 state book awards).

She's working on a new novel, Bob, which is co-authored with Rebecca Stead. They've been working on it for 7 years between their other books.

Wendy wrote the storyline for an episode of the television show  Monk, entitled “Mr. Monk Goes to the Theatre,” which aired during the show’s second season. She tells people her hobbies are hiking and photography, but really they’re collecting candy bar wrappers and searching for buried treasure with her metal detector. She lives with her family in New Jersey. (the picture is Wendy at three years old—–gotta love the feety pajamas!)
