Michelle Hodkin is the author of the New York Times bestselling Mara Dyer trilogy. Her first novel, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, was a 2011 YALSA Reader's Choice selection, and the books have drawn praise from, among others, Cassandra Clare, Veronica Roth, and Lev Grossman. The LA Times said, "There are echoes of Stephen King's classic Carrie in this young adult series kickoff…Hodkin's transitions from the mundane to hallucinated horror are unexpected, seamless and creepy, packing the same sort of cinematic punch as scenes from The Blair Witch Project." Rights to the series have sold in over fifteen territories, and the third novel, The Retribution of Mara Dyer, will be published by Simon & Schuster in 2014.
