Eli Stutz

Eli Stutz was cast into the world of story-telling by his four-year-old son who demanded a fresh, creative, and riveting new story each night before bedtime. As some of these stories weren’t half bad, Eli decided to write them down and is now developing himself as a middle-grade fantasy/science fiction novelist (his son’s tastes are advanced). Born and raised in Toronto, Eli balances being a happy father, diligent writer, and all-around nice guy, supported by his bemused family in a tiny Israeli town that is somewhat but not completely off the beaten track. His first novel for middle-grade readers, Pickle Impossible, will be published by Bloomsbury Children’s in Spring 2010.
