Sheila Agnew was born in New York and raised mainly in Dublin, Ireland, with her twin sister and two brothers. Not content to stay in one place, Sheila practiced international law for a number of years around the world before settling back in New York as a family lawyer and a budding author. This is her first novel for juvenile readers.
