GREGORYFUNARO

Gregory Funaro grew up in Cranston, Rhode Island, and wrote his first story, The Ghost in the Window, in the fourth grade. He considers this to be his finest work, but unfortunately it has been lost to time. His first book for Disney-Hyperion, ALISTAIR GRIM'S ODDITORIUM (2015), was a New York Times best seller and an Amazon Best Book of the Month. His other works for children have received starred reviews from Kirkus, School Library Journal, and ALA Booklist. Check out WATCH HOLLOW, a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection, as well as its sequel, WATCH HOLLOW: THE ALCHEMIST'S SHADOW, coming from HarperCollins in February 2020. Greg also teaches drama at East Carolina University, and is busy working on his next novel.
