George Hagen

George Hagen is the author of two novels for adults: The Laments, a Washington Post bestseller and recipient of the William Saroyan International Prize for writing, which Publishers Weekly called "a funny, touching novel about the meaning of family;" and Tom Bedlam, which was described by Booklist as "Dickensian in scope and spirit... Shot through with humor, and populated with a cast of eccentric charmers."

George had lived on three continents by the time he was twelve. The father of three children, he now lives in Brooklyn, New York. Gabriel Finley and the Raven's Riddle is his first book for kids.
