Jenny Lundquist

Jenny Lundquist is the author of eight middle grade and young adult titles including Seeing Cinderella and The Charming Life of Izzy Malone, as well as The Princess in the Opal Mask, and the upcoming The Library of Curiosities (Holiday House, 2025). The Stars of Somewhere Else will be her debut adult novel.

Like any good California girl, she enjoys wine tasting, parasailing on Lake Tahoe, spontaneous trips to the sea, and wearing too many layers any time she ventures to places where it’s actually cold. Currently she is working on her MFA in Creative Writing at San Francisco State University. She lives in Northern California with her family and their rescue pup, Ollie the Wonderdog, who occasionally makes unscheduled appearances at Jenny’s virtual school visits. A typical day in Jenny’s life includes consuming copious amounts of coffee and managing multiple kid and canine distractions while writing about wonder and whimsy in worlds both real and imagined.
