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 her 2025 novel, RACING THE CLOUDS, delves into addiction in the family. Her work has been featured on multiple state reading lists and in all-school/all-community read programs and has received a Crystal Kite, School Library Journal starred review, the Texas Institute of Letters Dierdre Siobhan FlynnBass Honor for Best Middle Grade Book, and several medals. A lifelong animal lover, Sydney lives with her husband and their two dogs and three cats. You can find out more about her at sydneydunlap.com.
