Arlys Avery

Arlys Avery writes about happy endings, great friendships, smart girls, frustrating cute boys, and swoon-inducing smooches.

She grew up in the kind of small Midwest town that hosts homecoming parades and 4-H fairs and where danger was a night spent with friends toilet-papering the home of her latest crush.

She is borderline fanatical about notebooks (most of which she refuses to write in), a lover of all things Jane Austen, a wannabe runner, a Gryffindor, and a zombie enthusiast who is also passionate in her hunt for the perfect lip gloss.

Even though she still gets a zit just in time for school picture day, Arlys has made the brave decision to make her career with middle schoolers at an Independent School near Beverly Hills… and she loves it.
