Liesl Shurtliff was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Just like Jack, she was made to do lots of yard work, pulling weeds
and growing green stuff she did not want to eat. These days, she
dearly loves her local farmers’ market and always makes her kids
eat the green stuff.
Before she became a writer, Liesl graduated from Brigham Young
University with a degree in music, dance, and theater. Her first
three books, Rump, Jack and Red are
all New York Times bestsellers and Rump was
named to over two dozen state award lists and won an ILA Children’s
Book Award. She lives in Chicago with her family, where she
continues to spin fairy tales.

"Liesl Shurtliff has the uncanny ability to make magical worlds
feel utterly real, and the best part is: you don't even need a
beanstalk to visit them." —Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than
Ever
"Shurtliff’s second fairy-tale endeavor, following Rump (2013),
soars into the sky and is a delightful story of family,
perseverance, and courage." —Booklist
"With a healthy dose of honor and integrity to accompany his
wisecracking ways, Jack is a winning hero, and his adventures—both
unexpected and recognizable—will please those readers with
rollicking spirits or a yen for tales retold." —The Bulletin
