Bestselling kids fantasy adventure writer Adam Gidwitz is the author of the New York Times bestseller and 2017 Newbery Honor Book The Inquisitor’s Tale.  One of the most beloved middle grade book of the year, the novel was a New York Times Editor’s Choice and named one of the best children’s books of the year by the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly and elsewhere. Kirkus Reviews in a starred review writers, “Gidwitz strikes literary gold with this mirthful and compulsively readable adventure story set in medieval France… While the three protagonists initially come together out of necessity, the heartwarming friendship they form celebrates a common humanity that transcends the bounds of race, religion, and social class…. a masterpiece of storytelling that is addictive and engrossing.”

The first book in the trilogy, A Tale Dark and Grimm, was also a New York Times bestseller and a New York Times Editors’ Choice, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, an ALA Notable Book, and received several other honors.
