Adam Kargman

Adam Kargman is a Southern California-based author whose storytelling blends humor, heart, and a dash of mischief. His award-winning debut children's book, "Abracadabra Whoopsie," was inspired by the sibling rivalry he witnessed between his kids, which led him to wonder what would really happen if one sibling's dream to make the other one vanish came true. The warm reception to that book led to "The Out-of-this-World Pet," inspired by his kids' relentless campaign for a family pet and Adam's equally relentless campaign to avoid getting one. In addition to writing for young readers, Adam published the suspense-thriller novel "Nagle's Mercy," which was hailed by Kirkus as a “thoroughly enjoyable” “edge-of-your-seat read” with “nonstop action and palpable psychological tension,” and was designated a SELF-e Select title by the staff of Library Journal. He has also written and directed several award-winning films.
