Terry Lynn Johnson writes middle grade adventures inspired by her own experiences. As a former Conservation Officer with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and a dog musher with eighteen sled dogs, she's been dragged by a dogteam, fallen through ice, been attacked by a sloth (slowly), and chased a bear with a chainsaw. Terry's novels have been nominated for twenty-one Provincial and State Lists. They have been recognized by Bank Street College Best Books, CCBC Best Books, ABA Best Books, Junior Library Guild Selections, International Children's Choice Book Award, and have earned Kirkus starred reviews. In 2019 Dog Driven won the IODE Canada Violet Downey Book Award. Her latest release, Rescue at Lake Wild, was long-listed for the Green Earth Book Award. It is her tenth novel for young readers.
