Proof of Purchase
New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Claribel A. Ortega ’10 (journalism) is a former reporter who writes middle-grade and young adult fantasy inspired by her Dominican heritage.
Goodreads.com describes Ghost Squad as “Coco meets Stranger Things with a hint of Ghostbusters in this action-packed supernatural fantasy.”
When she’s not busy turning her obsession with eighties pop culture, magic, and video games into books, she’s co-hosting her podcast Bad Author Book Club. Claribel is a Marvel contributor and has been featured on Buzzfeed, Bustle, Good Morning America and Deadline.
Other schools may say it, but few truly deliver—our campus culture is one of a kind. The unique energy driven by creative people, whether they’re studying visual and performing arts or digging into the liberal arts and sciences, lends itself to an open and collaborative vibe and an unapologetic freedom of expression.
