Kimberly Derting is the author of the Body Finder series, the
Pledge trilogy, and the Taking series. She lives in the Pacific
Northwest, where the gloomy weather is ideal for writing anything
dark and creepy. Her three beautiful (and often mouthy) children
serve as an endless source of inspiration and frequently find
things they say buried in the pages of their mother's books. Vashti
Harrison is the author-illustrator of the New York
Times-bestselling Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History. She
is also the illustrator of Festival of Colors, by Kabir Sehgal and

from the University of Virginia and an MFA in film/video from
CalArts. She currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.
