About: Sydney Dunlap
Profile:
As a kid in the Washington, DC area, Sydney Dunlap looked around for potential places to sleep every time she went on a field trip to a museum, just in case . . . a habit which continued when she was a teacher taking her students to museums! Now she is an author writing heartfelt, hopeful books that explore tough topics not often addressed in middle grade literature. Her 2023 debut novel, IT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY, tackles social media safety and has received several medals and a Crystal Kite Honor. It is featured on three state reading lists and has also been selected for all-community and all-school reads. Her subsequent novel, RACING THE CLOUDS, delves into addiction in the family and released in February 2025. It received a starred review from School Library Journal and is included on a Highlights Foundation list of books providing outstanding mental health representation. A lifelong animal lover, Sydney lives with her husband and their two dogs and three cats, all rescues. You can find out more about her at sydneydunlap.com.
