Gitty Daneshvari was an average child, the kind who never made much of a mark academically, athletically, or even socially --- a B student who could kick a ball, although never where she intended to kick it, and who made do with one or two friends. So it wasn’t much of a surprise when she was rejected from her school’s Talented and Gifted Program at the age of ten. On the contrary, Gitty had long ago accepted that she simple wasn’t “special,” unless of course you counted her long list of phobias (please read School of Fear for further explanation).

 

Luckily, as Gitty aged, she realized that the “blah” future she had envisioned for herself was not set in stone. For a while she lacked natural talent, there was nothing stopping her from figuring out what she enjoyed and then working hard to become better at it.

 

Gitty is the author of the series School of Fear and Monster High: Ghoulfriends.
