As an elementary school librarian’s assistant, a middle school Game Design for Girls teacher, and a 7th-12th grade robotics coach, C.K. Holbrook has watched as kids of all ages develop their identity through the combination of their unique interests, personalities, and strengths. She found that a particularly fun time in this process was the elementary school class visit to the library. She always enjoyed the race to find a book after the librarian broke from story time, and kids checked out their potential treasures. She knew that finding each child a story that spoke to them and captured their delight could be the highlight of their week, and hers. This inspired her to write the SPACE Academy series with stories that combine technology, humor, and intellectual curiosity in ways that she could not find in other books.

C.K. Holbrook lives in Smyrna, Georgia with her husband, who was her high school sweetheart, and their highly intelligent and opinionated labradoodle, Rey. As empty nesters, they fill their time with engineering new dinners and optimizing everything they encounter.
