B. A. Williamson is the overly caffeinated writer of The Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray. When not doing battle with the demons in the typewriter, he can be found wandering Indianapolis with his family, singing in a tuxedo, or taming middle-schoolers. He is a recipient of the Eli Lilly Teacher Creativity Fellowship. Please direct all complaints and your darkest secrets to @BAWrites on social media, or visit gwendolyngray.com.
"A fantastic, whimsical, and thoroughly satisfying book. Crossing
multiple worlds and filled with pirates, steampunk-style gadgetry,
magic, and a wonderfully creepy nemesis, the story is highly
original and entertaining."—Foreword Magazine, starred review
“Williamson successfully grounds the work both in fantastical and
dystopian settings, making otherworldly markets and steampunk
pirates in airships fit perfectly alongside more common themes such
as building lasting friendships and the first hint of romance.”
—School Library Journal
"Williamson skillfully blends a dystopian society with a steampunk
adventure and a coming-of-age journey. Fans of classic adventures
like Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz will adore
Gwendolyn."—Booklist
"Gwendolyn’s character development makes for a satisfying arc
alongside the breathless adventure ." —Bulletin of
the Center for Children's Books
