Audrey grew up in Whitestone, New York, where she lived with her parents and two sisters and a not very bright small white dog. She has a freaky memory about the names of the kids in her class at P.S. 184Q, and even remembers where most of them stood in size order.
About Audrey Vernick
She always loved to read and still rereads Harriet the Spy on a regular basis. She was not one of those children who always knew she wanted to be a writer; she didn't love to write until college. She's been writing ever since.
In addition to writing for children, Audrey has published more than a dozen short stories for adults in magazines and literary journals. She received an mfa from Sarah Lawrence College and has been honored with two fiction fellowships from the New Jersey State Council of the Arts. She lives near the ocean in New Jersey with one husband, two children, and two semi-smart medium-sized dogs.
Ellen and Beth and me.
Despite the fact that this photo reveals my advanced age, it's just about my favorite thing in the world. I'm the little one, looking up at my big sister with a mix of awe and ... awe. I felt that way about the sister on my left, too. I still feel that way about them both.
