Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Roland Smith was just five years old when his parents gave him an old manual typewriter that weighed more than he did, and he’s been writing ever since. Now he is the award-winning author of eighteen novels for young readers and more than a dozen nonfiction titles and picture books for children.
Raised in the music business, Smith decided to incorporate that experience as a backdrop for the I, Q series.
When he is not at home writing, Roland Smith spends a good part of the year speaking to students at schools around the country. Learn more about the I, Q books at: www.iqtheseries.com. Learn more about Roland Smith at: www.rolandsmith.com.
