Wen Jane Baragrey has a reputation as a teller of grand tales--otherwise known as fibs--and felt that writing books would put these skills to best use. In the past she has worked as an artist, been a lighting tech for a band, and appeared on television; all of these claims are more or less true. She lives on a farm in New Zealand, where she is surrounded by children, volcanoes, five German shepherds, and too many goats. (Don't even get her started on the goats.)

Funny, charming, slightly kooky, and absolutely brimming with heart. Baragrey writes kid characters faced with big problems (finding one's dad) and smaller problems (a NASA satellite about to smash your house) in a way that is warm and surprisingly relatable. I loved these characters and their odd, small-town lives. --Stefan Bachmann, internationally bestselling author of The Peculiar With warmth and whimsy, What Goes Up explores the security of friendship, the permanence of family, and the comfort that comes from learning the place you belong. --Caroline Starr Rose, author of May B What Goes Up is filled with humor, wit, and warmth. I loved it! --Juliana Stone, author of Boys Like You A quirky, heartwarming story of family and friendship. --Kirkus Reviews
