Jennifer Mathieu

Hi! I’m author Jennifer Mathieu. I’m a writer and English teacher who lives in Texas with my family. A native of the East Coast and a former journalist, I've written seven novels for young adults, including Moxie, which was turned into a Netflix movie by Amy Poehler! My latest YA novel, Down Came the Rain, follows two brave teenagers grappling with eco-anxiety and climate change. All my books for teenagers have been published by Roaring Brook Press/Macmillan. My first novel for adults, The Faculty Lounge, will be out from Dutton/Penguin Random House on July 23, 2024. Following a sprawling cast of characters at a large public high school in Houston over the course of a year, this novel is my love letter to the adults who work in schools. I have a sporadic presence on Facebook and Twitter/X, but the best place to find me is on Instagram/Threads at authorjenmathieu. My author website is jennifermathieu dot com. :-)
