Silver Stars

A large part of Michael Grant's life has been spent hopping from place to place. Born into a military family, he attended ten schools in five different states, and three more in France. Even as an adult, he maintained a nomadic existence, and one of the reasons that led him to become a writer was precisely because it was an activity that didn't require him to settle in one place. His greatest ambition is to spend a year traveling around the world, visiting every continent. Yes, all of them, including Antarctica. Currently, he lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with his wife, Katherine Applegate, their two children, and numerous pets.
