Adam Ross is the founder and primary author of First Fantasy Books. He earned his Master of Arts in Teaching, and taught for six years before starting on this passion project. During his time teaching, he witnessed students struggling to engage with the content they were being offered, especially in Early English Readers. He wanted to create content that was entertaining as well as developmentally appropriate. With these books, Adam hopes to encourage a love of reading and a sense of belonging for all readers.
