Neal Shusterman

On Monday, we welcome Neal Shusterman, the New York Times best-selling author of over thirty novels for children, teens, and adults. His novel, Unwind, has become part of the literary canon in many school districts across the country-and has won more than thirty domestic and international awards.

Shusterman has earned a reputation as a storyteller and dynamic speaker. As a speaker, he is in constant demand at schools and conferences. Degrees in both psychology and drama give him a unique approach to writing, and his novels deal with topics that appeal to adults as well as teens, weaving true-to-life characters into sensitive and riveting issues, and binding it all together with a unique and entertaining sense of humor. Neal lives in Jacksonville, Florida, but spends much of his time traveling the world speaking, and signing books for readers.
