ⓘ About Alana Terry
Her books are known for encouraging Christian readers, presenting the gospel without being preachy, and raising tough questions. Alana’s also been accused of making readers of her books stay up much too late. She is a homeschooling mom of three kids that hates cooking, loves writing, and enjoys reading a good book nearly as much as she enjoys writing one. Alana loves homeschooling so much that she also leads day camps and clubs for homeschoolers in her community. As an eclectic homeschooler at heart, she enjoys the freedom that comes with family-directed learning and plans interdisciplinary unit studies for homeschoolers of different ages. When Alana is not busy writing, it is likely that she is outside playing with her children. Or wrestling them on the floor. Or driving them somewhere.
