About the Author

Antonio Pagliarulo was born and raised in New York City and still calls the Big Apple home. He attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts and SUNY Purchase College, where he earned a BA in sociology. Though he has never lived in a penthouse, owned a Chihuahua, or flown his private jet to Borneo, he does enjoy window shopping on Fifth Avenue and hopes to one day own a Dolce & Gabbana suit. The Celebutantes: On the Avenue is his second book for young readers.
