Adam Jay Epstein

Adam Jay Epstein spent his childhood in Great Neck, New York, when he wasn’t held captive aboard his father’s sailboat. He spent many days sitting in the neighborhood park, travelling to fantasy lands in his head (occasionally when he was supposed to be doing his homework). In college, he circled the world on a ship and studied film at Wesleyan University. He is the author of the middle grade series Snared and picture books Have You Seen Gordon? and Have You Seen Axel?. Adam is also the coauthor of the Starbounders and the internationally bestselling The Familiars middle grade series. He has written film and television projects for Disney, Sony, Fox, MGM, Paramount, MTV, Hulu, Syfy, and Disney Channel. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife, two daughters, and dog, Pixel.
