ARIANNE COSTNER is an Arizona-based former English teacher who firmly believes that authors should crack up at their own jokes. When she’s not chasing her four wild children or tripping over scattered toys, she’s probably reading to her kids or working on her next middle-grade novel. Her debut, MY LIFE AS A POTATO, and her second book, CONFESSIONS OF A CLASS CLOWN were published by Random House Children’s Books in 2020 and 2022, respectively.
