Wanderluster
Sarah Allen is the author of WHAT STARS ARE MADE OF, BREATHING UNDERWATER, and the forthcoming THE NIGHTMARE HOUSE. Like Libby in STARS, she was born with Turner syndrome. WHAT STARS ARE MADE OF was an ALA Notable Book of 2020 and Whitney Award Winner, and BREATHING UNDERWATER was a Jr. Library Guild Selection for 2021. Born and raised in Utah, she received an MFA in creative writing from Brigham Young University, and now lives in the Des Moines area with her two cats, Timicin and Morticia. She spends her non-writing time taking pictures, singing showtunes too loudly, and going on road trips. She loves grizzly bears, leather jackets, and anything in caramel.
