Lisa Stringfellow writes middle grade fiction and has a not-so-secret fondness for fantasy with a dark twist. She is the author of two books for young readers, KINGDOM OF DUST and A COMB OF WISHES, which Newbery Award–winning author Kelly Barnhill called “one of the most promising works of fiction in a long time.” She writes for her twelve-year-old self, the kid waiting to be the brown-skinned hero of an adventure, off saving the world. Lisa’s work often reflects her West Indian and Black southern heritage. She received the inaugural Kweli Color of Children’s Literature Manuscript Award for a draft of A COMB OF WISHES, which was a Bram Stoker Award Finalist, an Indies Introduce Top Ten title, an Indie Next List selection, and a New England Booksellers Association Book Award Finalist.​ Author P. Djèlí Clark calls her West African–inspired fantasy, KINGDOM OF DUST, “A fascinating fairy tale of memory, the power of storytelling, and magic!” Lisa is a middle school teacher and lives in Boston, Massachusetts, with her children and bossy cat.
