Andrea Dingeldey

Andrea Dingeldey has spent more than forty years in education—as a classroom teacher, designer of educational products, and advocate for thoughtful learning. She brings her deep love of stories and strong belief in the power of middle-grade fiction to every page she writes.

The Magic of Home is her debut novel, born from a passion for helping young readers find courage, connection, and hope.

When she’s not writing, Andrea enjoys reading across genres, visiting independent bookstores, and spending time with her family—her biggest supporters and most trusted early readers.
