Before diving into the deep end of writing for children and young adults, Anna Crowley Redding's first career was as an Emmy-award winning investigative television reporter, anchor, and journalist. The recipient of multiple Edward R. Murrow awards and recognized by the Associated Press for her reporting, Anna now focuses her stealthy detective skills on digging up great stories for young readers -- which, as it turns out, is her true passion. Plus, it's a great excuse to be nosy! Anna's work is published in three languages. Two of her books have been named BEST STEM BOOKS by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA)!
