If Jackson Pearce had three wishes, she would wish for wisdom and patience and for life to be a little more like a musical. She began writing when the school librarian told her there weren't any books that contained a smart girl, horses, baby animals, and magic. Her solution was to write the book herself. Her parents thought it was cute at first but have grown steadily more concerned for her ever since.
Jackson currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with a slightly cross-eyed cat and a lot of secondhand furniture.
