Elizabeth Eulberg writes young adult and middle-grade fiction with a gift for sharp, relatable teenage voices. Her debut, The Lonely Hearts Club (2010), follows a high school girl who swears off dating and accidentally starts a movement. The book spawned four companion novels, all with Beatles-inspired titles: A Hard Day’s Night, From Me to You, Two of Us, and We Can Work It Out.

Her Girl Detective series — The Great Shelby Holmes and its three sequels — reimagines Sherlock Holmes as a preteen girl solving mysteries in Harlem. The books earned praise for their clever mysteries and the dynamic between the confident Shelby and her Watson-like narrator. Eulberg’s standalone novels include Prom & Prejudice, a high school retelling of Jane Austen, and Better Off Friends, a friends-to-lovers story. Her newer series include Scared Silly (middle-grade horror comedy) and The Taylors Version, with Love Stories (2025) and Cruel Summer (2026).
