Adam Gidwitz spent eight years as a teacher in Brooklyn. He now writes full time, which means he spends a couple of hours a day writing and the rest of the time lying on his couch staring at the ceiling. Everything in The Grimm Ending, as in all of his novels, happened not just in true fairy tales, but it also happened to Adam.
