Jandy Nelson hails from a superstitious family, just like Noah and Jude. She's been taught how to seek for four-leaf clover since she was a child; she knocks wood, tosses salt, and carries charms in her pockets. Her debut novel, The Sky Is Everywhere, was named to various Best Books of the Year lists, was named to the YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults list, had numerous starred reviews, and has been extensively translated. Jandy lives and works as a full-time writer in San Francisco, California, which is close to the settings of The Sky Is Everywhere and I'll Give You the Sun.
