M. T. Anderson is an award-winning author of books for kids, teens, and adults. His satirical science-fiction novel Feed was a Finalist for the National Book Award and the winner of the L.A. Times Book Prize. His Gothic historical novel of the American Revolution, The Pox Party, won the National Book Award. More recently, his novel Landscape with Invisible Hand was made into a movie starring Tiffany Haddish and Asante Blackk, and last year, his children's novel Elf Dog & Owl Head won a Newbery Honor. A nonfiction book about the Second World War, Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad, was nominated for the National Book Award. He has also written picture books, graphic novels, horror stories, and music reviews. His first novel solely for adults, Nicked, came out in July 2024 and is based on the bizarre but true story of a heist in which the corpse of St. Nicholas -- Santa Claus -- was stolen from its tomb in Turkey by a crew of relic thieves. Anderson generally lives in a small, 18th century haunted house in the hills of Vermont.
