Jodi Carmichael

Jodi Carmichael is a multi-award winning author living in Winnipeg, Canada. She can often be found dancing in the living room with her two wildly imaginative daughters, her patient and supportive husband, and a scruffy Border Terrier named Zoe.

Jodi's middle grade novel, Family of Spies, launches in April 2018 and is a fast-paced middle grade full of mystery, espionage, and humor. When cousins, Ford, Ellie, and Gavin, discover their late great-grandfather was a rogue World War 2 spymaster, they must outrun MI6 and the CIA through the streets of Paris, relying on their wits and Ford’s newfound clairvoyant skills to unlock the past. Great-Grandad hid something important to the war effort and these agencies want it back!
