Mary Boone

PB MG Author

Mary Boone writes nonfiction that makes young readers say, “WOW…that’s true?!” She’s the author of 70+ books for kids, including Unfathomable: 20 Wild (But True) Stories of the Ocean (a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection), The Flying Feminist, Pedal Pusher, School of Fish, and Bugs for Breakfast. She loves digging up surprising facts, strange history, and wildly true stories that spark curiosity. When she’s not writing, she’s probably planning her next school visit, library adventure, or ocean-inspired conversation. Mary lives with her family in Tacoma.
