Eric Luper
Eric Luper tried to escape his children’s literature destiny by going to chiropractic school. Soon he discovered that, although he made a great doctor, his heart was somehow wrapped around putting words to paper. Although he has treated scores of professional athletes, pop stars, rap artists, rock performers, and movie stars, he is happiest when he sees his books in the hands of a young reader. He has written three Scholastic book club original series, THE CHOCOLATE LAB, KEY HUNTERS, and BAD FOOD. Eric has also worked on tv tie-in projects and Mad Libs for “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “The Amazing World of Gumball,” “Scooby-Doo,” “Pokemon,” “Teen Titans Go,” and others. He has written young adult and middle grade novels as well, including BIG SLICK (FSG), BUG BOY (FSG), SETH BAUMGARTNER’S LOVE MANIFESTO (Balzer + Bray), and JEREMEY BENDER VS. THE CUPCAKE CADETS (Balzer + Bray). Audio rights to both LOVE MANIFESTO and CUPCAKE CADETS were sold to Brilliance Audio and Listening Library, respectively. Eric lives in Albany NY, but he travels the world seeking new adventures (and wicked awesome food) and gets into mischief as much as he can.
