Tashia Hart is a writer and artist from the Red Lake Nation. Her literary works include the contemporary romance Native Love Jams; The Good Berry Cookbook: Harvesting and Cooking Wild Rice and Other Wild Foods; and the middle-grade illustrated book Gidjie and the Wolves. Girl Unreserved is a fictionalized retelling of her own coming of age tale – recently updated and re-released. Tashia lives in Duluth where she is currently finishing a manuscript and gardening with her three-year-old son.
Jay Martel is the pen name of husband and wife writing team Andy Bennett and Katy Helbacka. They’ve spent the past twenty years collaborating on everything from theatrical productions to escape rooms to their son, Theo. They live in northern Minnesota where the winters are cold, long, and the perfect excuse to stay inside and write novels together. Codebreaker is an original, interactive thriller which follows a brilliant teenage girl as she races across D.C. to decode the clues her father left behind, which may just be the key to saving the country from a devastating tragedy.
Margi Preus's books for young readers have won multiple awards, including a Newbery Honor, landed on the New York Times bestseller list and many other “best-of” lists, been honored as ALA/ALSC Notables, featured on NPR, and chosen for community reads. In her new children's book Snowshoe Kate and the Hospital Built for Pennies, Preus and illustrator Jaime Zollars shed light on a trailblazing doctor known as the “Angel on Snowshoes." This biography celebrates a woman who defied gender expectations and dedicated her life to helping the farthest reaches of her community.
