ABOUT THE AUTHOR
© Sebastian Kowalski
CRYSTAL CHAN watched with amazement the exotic zoo outbreak in Zanesville, Ohio, in 2011, where scores of animals—including hungry lions, panthers, and tigers—ran loose around the county. That incident helped inspire this story. When Crystal isn’t writing, her passions are giving diversity talks to adults and kids alike, telling stories on Wisconsin Public Radio, and hosting conversations on social media. Her debut novel, Bird, was published in nine countries and is available on audiobook in the United States. She is also the parent of a teenage turtle (not a ninja).
