ANDREW ELIOPULOS is a children's book writer and editor living in Brooklyn, New York. He may or may not believe in magic.
Originally from Georgia, Andrew graduated from the University of Chicago, where he double-majored in Germanic Studies and Fundamentals: Issues and Texts (a major which here means a whole lot of reading and re-reading).
The Spider Ring is Andrew's first book for young readers. It's a spooky modern fairy tale about a girl who inherits a magical ring from her grandmother, but it's also about friendship, grief, and the power of stories to ensnare and define us.
