In search of transcendent backdrops for her novels, Kirsten Hubbard has hiked ancient ruins in Cambodia, dived with wild dolphins in Belize (one totally looked her in the eye), slept in a Slovenian jail cell, and navigated numerous desert apocalypses (usually in face paint and combat boots). But she always comes home to California.
Kirsten is the author of the young adult novels
LIKE MANDARIN and
WANDERLOVE (Delacorte Press/Random House Children's Books), and the middle-grade novels
WATCH THE SKY and
RACE THE NIGHT (Disney-Hyperion), along with a forthcoming
Disney series as Kir Fox. She is represented by Jaida Temperly of New Leaf Literary.
