J.J. Howard

J.J. Howard is wearing headphones right now, most likely. She grew up in York, Pennsylvania, obsessed with music, movies, television, and pop culture. J.J. earned her BA in English at Dickinson College and her MH at Tiffin University. She has been some of her students’ favorite English teacher for a quite a few years (she even has a mug somewhere to prove it). THAT TIME I JOINED THE CIRCUS  (April 2013, Point Books) is her debut young adult novel. Kirkus said of the fun debut, “[It’s a story] for any reader who ever has felt like running away to join the circus.J.J. loves to hear from readers and is always ready to trade playlists.
