Welcome to the website of Kerry Madden-Lunsford!

She is so glad you came in just as she is launching her new children’s novel

Werewolf Hamlet with Charlesbridge Moves

Booklist starred review

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

“The story of Angus Gettlefinger, a fifth-grade boy minding his own business (mostly) and living his fifth-grade life, who would like his big brother, Liam, to start acting like a normal brother again-preferably by Friday.”

And that’s not all…

Her other books, reviews, essays, and interviews are awaiting your eyes, ears and brains. As a member of the communities of writers, readers, children, spouses, mothers, travellers, teachers, Kerry loves a good story. She may be coaxing them from students at the university or the neighborhood elementary school; she may be walking a mountain trail with a dear friend or watching a brother on a flamenco stage. She knows some stories are so fun to tell, and some are hard, hard, hard to tell, and some are both! Come on along, explore some of Kerry’s stories, and stretch your heart a bit.
