Fox Point's Own Gemma Hopper

“Brie Spangler brought me back to that relentless ache of being young—the dreams, the fights, the loss, and the hope. You don’t need to know baseball to root with all your might for Gemma Hopper!” — Tillie Walden, author of On a Sunbeam

“Spangler crafts a piercing meditation on fraught family dynamics, complex adolescence, and athletic meritocracy in this baseball-filled graphic novel.” —Publishers Weekly

”[A] heart-warming read about finding yourself in the things you love and being your own hero.“—The Bulletin

“An intriguing graphic novel that kids will want to read.” —School Library Journal

Author/illustrator of children’s picture books, graphic novels, and YA novels, Brie Spangler loves to draw and write stories, and drink massive amounts of caffeine. Writing down the ideas in her head was scary as a kid, so she turned to making pictures instead. Brie worked as an illustrator for several years before she began to write and immediately became a frothing addict. Her YA novel Beast was nominated for a Lambda Award and was named a Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly and Kirkus. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Brie now lives in the Bay Area with her family.
