Janet Adele Bloss is a nature lover with a huge imagination. An 11-year-old at heart, she has authored 25 books for children and young adults, including Max and the Secret Skunk, The Haunted Hotel, Ballet Bunny, My Brother the Creep, The Haunted Underwear, and The Girl with Green Hair. As a child, Janet was a voracious reader who slept with her books under her pillow at night hoping the stories would stay with her. She enjoys jiujitsu, kickboxing, and likes chocolate a little too much. The three things she absolutely cannot live without are books, trees, and dogs.
With the publication of No Place Like Home , Janet hopes to reach a new generation of young readers and their parents with an allegorical adventure that reveals the gospel message of hope and joy.
