Jandy Nelson’s debut YA novel, The Sky Is Everywhere (Penguin, 2010) was on multiple Best Books of the Year lists, was a YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults pick, and has been translated in over 20 languages. Entertainment Weekly calls her just released second YA novel I’ll Give You the Sun (Penguin, 2014): “A blazing prismatic explosion of color . . . To read it is a coming-of-age experience in itself.” It has been optioned by Warner Brothers with Denise DeNovi producing and has already been licensed in seventeen countries. Jandy has an MFA in poetry from Brown University and one in writing for children and young adults from VCFA. She lives and writes in San Francisco-not far from the Northern California settings of The Sky Is Everywhere and I’ll Give You the Sun. Visit her online at www.jandynelson...
