Young Block is a twelve-year-old writer who lives in Brooklyn, NY. He wrote his first book over the course of the summer break between fifth and sixth grades, and his second during his first semester of middle school. His father helps, but not too much. It’s still his work. When he’s not writing, he practices karate, and he reads. He reads a lot. Like, all the time. And when he’s not doing any of those things, he’s making snarky comments (which, honestly, would have been the first thing he mentioned if his father hadn’t edited this bio).
