About the Author

Christina Soontornvat is an award-winning author, engineer, and STEM educator. Her many works for children include picture books, chapter books and the bestselling graphic novel, The Tryout. She is a three-time Newbery Honor recipient, most recently for The Last Mapmaker, which was also named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times. Her book, Legends of Lotus Island: The Guardian Test, is the first book in a four-book series.

Christina grew up behind the counter of her parents' Thai restaurant in a small Texas town with her nose stuck in a book. She is very proud of both her Thai and Texan roots and makes regular trips to Weatherford, Texas and Bangkok, Thailand to see her family (and eats lots and lots of Thai food!). In addition to being an author, she spent a decade working in the science museum field, where she designed programs and exhibits to get kids excited about science. She currently lives in Tennessee with her husband and two daughters.
