Author Spotlight

We’re delighted to shine our Emerald Library™ Author Spotlight on Cornelia Funke, celebrated author of Inkheart, The Thief Lord, and Dragon Rider. Her books are rich with imagination, filled with daring tales of friendship, courage, and wonder—portals into adventure where words come to life.

Kate is the New York Times bestselling author of Greenglass House—a book that not only won the Edgar Award for Juvenile Literature but has also captured the hearts of readers around the world. Set in a mysterious old inn with secrets, stained glass, and ghostly twists, Greenglass House celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, and our readers had the rare treat of hearing its origin story directly from Kate herself.
