Praise for Asking for a Friend:"Riley’s fictional world is one in which queer joy always triumphs… A breath of fresh air." —Kirkus ReviewsPraise forJude Saves the World:Indie Next List PickIndies Introduce Pick“Full of fierce warmth and humor, Jude Saves the World is a life-changer. A tender, radiant debut.” —Ashley Herring Blake, author of the Stonewall Honor book Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World“A heartwarming exploration of identity, unconditional friendship, found family, and harnessing the force of love to right the world's wrongs.” —Jules Machias, author of Both Can Be True“Jude's story is full of heart, queer celebration, and an intelligent tenderness so needed in today’s homes and classrooms.” —Ash Van Otterloo, author of Cattywampus“Accessible and ultimately hopeful. Jude Saves the World feels like wrapping yourself up in a warm blanket, like a hug to every single reader who might need one. Not only is Jude a courageous kid who just wants to make their world a better, more accepting place, they are a role model for readers hoping to do the same.” —A. J. Sass, author of Ana on the Edge and Ellen Outside the Lines“Filled with courage and positivity, Jude is middle grade’s next Pride icon.” —Kaliisha Cole, Whitelam Books, Reading, MA“This is a beautiful book with amazing, brave characters who fiercely guard friendship as a safe space filled with unconditional love - and set about to make the world that way. Jude Saves the World cracked my heart open and poured joy right in.” —Justin Colussy-Estes, Little Shop of Stories, Decatur, GA“Jude is the brave and loyal friend all young queer kids need.” —Gabriella Crivilare, Prairie Fox Books, Ottawa, IL

Ronnie Riley (they/them) is many things: fat, queer, trans, nonbinary, demisexual, lesbian, neurodivergent, disabled, Canadian. They're an event coordinator who lives with their partner in Toronto, Ontario. They collect books, friends, and cats. They love ice cream any day of the year, birds with long legs, and messy reality TV.

Their queer contemporary middle grade debut, Jude Saves the World (Scholastic, 2023), was an Indies Introduce and an Indies Kids' Next List pick. Asking for a Friend (Scholastic, 2024) is their sophomore book. They write books they wish they had as a kid.
