Daniel Ehrenhaft
Daniel Ehrenhaft is the author of several dozen books for children and young adults—so many books, in fact, that he has lost count.

He lives in Brooklyn with his wife Jessica, as well as a scruffy dog named Gibby and a psychotic cat named Bootsy. When he isn't writing, he tirelessly travels the globe on a doomed mission to achieve rock stardom. As of this date, his musical credits include the composition of bluegrass soundtrack numbers for the epic straight-to-video B movie The Grave, a brief stint playing live rap music to baffled Filipino audiences in Hong Kong, and scoring the still-p

She admitted the words were in a legible order. I now write out of the shadows and have three books to my name, a fourth in the works and many more in my brain that I'm eager to get out. Stay tuned.
