Morgan Baden

Morgan Baden’s debut Young Adult novel, The Hive (co-written with her husband, bestselling author Barry Lyga), was named a Best Book of Fall 2019 by People Magazine and was called a “gripping, tense, action-packed thriller” by Booklist (Kids Can Press, September 2019). She’s the author of Daphne and Velma: The Dark Deception (Scholastic, July 2020) and Daphne and Velma: Buried Secrets (Scholastic, September 2022), and a contributor to Generation Wonder (Abrams, June 2022). In July 2023, she released Super Sweet Unicorn Club, a loving (and biting) homage to the iconic teen book series of the 80s & 90s. Her next book, Famous Anonymous, marks the start of a new middle grade series from Holiday House and hits stores on September 9, 2025. A bestselling ghostwriter, she lives in New Jersey with her husband and their two book-obsessed children, where she works in nonprofit communications. Find her at www.morganbaden.com.
