Adam Jay Epstein spent his childhood in Great Neck, New York, when
he wasn’t held captive aboard his father's sailboat. He spent many
days sitting in the neighborhood park, travelling to fantasy lands
in his head (occasionally when he was supposed to be doing his
homework). In college, he circled the world on a ship and studied
film at Wesleyan University. He is the author of the series Snared
and Have You Seen Gordon? and the coauthor of the internationally
bestselling middle grade fantasy series The Familiars and the
Starbounders series. He has written film and television projects
for Disney, Sony, Fox, MGM, Paramount, MTV, Hulu, Syfy, and Disney
Channel. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife, two
daughters, and dog, Pixel.

"It’s a culturally relevant meta-spoof that raises big questions
about authority and autonomy, allyship and consent... It also
succeeds wholly in the seek-and-find genre; while readers catch
their breath from the high-energy character wrangling, they can
pore over a wonderfully wide-ranging supply of visual jokes (e.g.
poop as fine art) en route to the book’s sweetly affirming
end."
*Publishers Weekly, starred review*
"Riotously written and wittily illustrated with plenty of details
for kids to savor, this charmer will keep readers laughing and
looking. Seek no more for words to describe this winner: a
standout!"
*Kirkus Reviews, starred review*
