Neverseen

Shannon Messenger graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where she learned-among other things-that she liked watching movies much better than making them. She's studied art, screenwriting, and film production, but she realized her real passion was writing stories for children. She's the  New York Times  and  USA TODAY  bestselling author of the award-winning middle grade series,   Keeper of the Lost Cities, as well as the  Sky Fall  series for young adults. Her books have been featured on multiple state reading lists, published in numerous countries, and translated into many different languages. She lives in Southern California with her family-and  an embarrassing number of cats. Find her online at ShannonMessenger. com.
