Ashley DeWick grew up in a homeschooling Navy family that moved multiple times a year, and graduated in the crazy chaos of Covid. She writes middle grade fiction to show courageous young readers that wonder still whirls in an out-of-whack world. When not agonizing over character names or inventing nonsensical worlds filled with imaginary creatures, you can find her adventuring with her husband, fangirling about dragons, or squeaking like a dolphin over the newest tiny thing she found.
