Kelly Milner Halls
Kelly Milner Halls is an award winning nonfiction author for kids, specializing in quirky topics of special appeal to reluctant readers. Her titles include Dinosaur Mummies, Albino Animals, Wild Dogs, Tales of the Cryptids, Dinosaur Travel Guide, Mystery of the Mummy Kids, Dinosaur Parade, Wild Horses and Saving the Baghad Zoo.
Saving the Baghdad Zoo is Halls’ latest book from HarperCollins / Greenwillow, 2010. In the fall of 2011, her new book In Search of Sasquatch will be available from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in October of 2011. Alien Investigation, Hatchlings: A Life Size Look at Baby Dinosaurs and her first fiction project, Girl Meets Boy will be published in the fall of 2012, by Running Press and Chronicle, respectively. She is perhaps best known for Tales of the Cryptids, now published by Lerner.
Halls makes her home in Spokane, Washington with two daughters, one dog, too many cats and a four foot rock iguana named Gigantor. When she’s not writing or visiting elementary and middle schools across the nation, she’s working as her friend, YA novelist Chris Crutcher’s personal assistant and occasional cat sitter.
Much appreciation to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, publisher of IN SEARCH OF SASQUATCH, and HarperCollins, publisher of SAVING THE BAGHDAD ZOO, for sponsoring Kelly Milner Halls’ participation in the Nonfiction Bookblast.
