Nic Stone says, “The only thing I love more than an adventure is a good story about one.” Born and raised in a suburb of Atlanta, Stone grew up with the diverse range of cultures and backgrounds that bring voices to her work. After serving as a mentor to teens and living in Israel for several years, she returned to the United States to write full time. Stone’s debut novel for young adults, “Dear Martin,” was a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and William C. Morris Award finalist. Her latest work, “Shuri: A Black Panther Novel” (Scholastic), is the first in an original series that follows Shuri, one of Marvel Universe’s breakout characters, on a quest to save her homeland. Stone is also the author of the recently published “Dear Justyce” (Crown), the sequel to “Dear Martin.”
