About

Arlys Avery was first published in Stone Soup ​Children’s magazine when she was in 3rd grade. ​She thinks it was a limerick about a man with a ​very large nose, or maybe it was about crows, but ​since she had peaked early in poetry, she decided ​to change her trajectory toward happy endings, ​great friendships, smart girls, frustrating cute boys, ​and swoon-inducing smooches.


Arlys grew up in the kind of small Midwest town ​that hosts homecoming parades and 4-H fairs and ​where danger was a night spent with friends toilet-​papering the home of her latest crush.

She is borderline fanatical about notebooks (most ​of which she refuses to write in), a lover of all things ​Jane Austen, a wannabe runner, a Gryffindor, and a ​zombie enthusiast who is also passionate in her ​hunt for the perfect lipgloss.


Even though she still gets a zit just in time for ​school picture day, Arlys has made the brave ​decision to make her career with middle schoolers ​at an Independent School near Beverly Hills… and ​she loves it.

So great to read! fun, wholesome! Love ​the Pride and Prejudice twist. Highly ​recommend this book. Bravo, Ms. Avery ​for your book debut!

– Becca M.

This is a delightful, easy read. It shows ​the power of friendship and the ​importance of being true to yourself. ​Definitely a book I can whole-heartedly ​recommend to my 7th and 8th grade ​students.

– Jen

I loved the characters in this book and ​could not put it down. The writing was ​sensational! From the small town fairs to ​the big city offer shops to the dresses ​and hairdos-I could imagine it all. Isn’t ​that what good writers do?
