Alida Durham Clemans
Middle Grade Author



Meet Lizzy...
Lizzy Zander is not looking forward to the summer before sixth grade. For starters, she has to move to a new city where she knows absolutely no one. Making things even worse is her dad and his stupid M.S.
Here are some fun facts about me:
-
In my writing, I capture the quiet, confusing, joyful, hilarious, and heartbreaking moments of growing up.
-
I published my first middle grade novel, Until the Ocean Freezes, in 2020. I am currently working on two new books for kids. Stay tuned for updates!
-
I love animals, especially my dog, Spencer, and elephants.
-
I live in New York City.
-
My favorite color is red.
-
I have a daughter named Zoe and a son named Lucas.
-
My husband and I met two weeks before we graduated from college.
-
I'm an identical twin.
-
When I'm not writing, you can probably find me in the kitchen cooking up a storm.
-
I read every chance I get and especially enjoy the works of middle grade authors like Meg Medina, Rebecca Stead, Kate DiCamillo, Esther Ehrlich, Judy Blume, and so many others.
