Jacob Sager Weinstein

As a child, Jacob Sager Weinstein could turn his feet completely backwards, then juggle. Nowadays, his joints are much less flexible, but he can still manage the juggling part. Other accomplishments include two Writers' Guild of America award nominations and one win. He has written for film, TV, radio, and print outlets including HBO, the BBC, The New Yorker, and The Onion.  

His books include the middle grade novel Hyacinth and the Secrets Beneath, the picture books Lyric Mckerrigan, Secret Librarian and What Rosa Brought, and the non-fiction works How to Remember Everything and Be Happier Now. He lives in London with his wife and kids.
