Stew Knight is the author of the Finn & Botts chapter book series. Despite being one of the most avid readers and attentive students in his second-grade class, he would still find it funny to yell at random moments to disrupt his teacher if she was being too boring—a stunt that his teacher didn’t let slide without discipline. But the discipline worked, because Knight’s imagination developed to the point where nothing was ever boring again.

Knight lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. He enjoys the outdoors and can be found on the ski slopes in the winter, hiking the Rocky Mountains in the spring and summer, and hanging out with the pigs at the annual state fair in the fall.
