JACQUELYN MITCHARD

Jacquelyn Mitchard is the New York Times best-selling author of 'Twelve Times Blessed', 'A Theory of Relativity', 'The Deep End of the Ocean', and 'The Most Wanted'. Jackie is widely acclaimed for her literary achievements, but until now, few people have been aware that she is also a trusted one - a human who has been welcomed into mouse society. It is a great honor previously bestowed on the likes of E. B. White, Benjamin Franklin, and Marie Curie. Jackie became a trusted one while still in high school by rescuing an entire family of mice from the depths of a trombone just before a performance of 'The Music Man'. She has enjoyed the company of mice ever since, and with starring prima!, she finally realizes a long-held ambition to share her insights into mouse culture with her fellow humans. She lives in Wisconsin, with her husband and six children.
