Elizabeth C. Bunce writes for young readers across two age groups. Her young adult fantasy novels include A Curse Dark as Gold (2008), a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin, and the StarCrossed duology. Her middle grade Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries follow a twelve-year-old amateur detective solving crimes in Victorian England.
A Curse Dark as Gold won the William C. Morris Award for debut young adult fiction. The Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries have earned praise for their clever plotting and Myrtle’s sharp, funny voice. Bunce clearly enjoys writing characters who are smarter than the people around them realize, and that quality runs through all of her work regardless of the target age group.
