More about Elena

My name is Elena and I am a fourteen year-old author. People always ask me how I came up with the idea for my middle grade book series about sibling rivalry. In 2015 my little brother Mason said he wished he were older. To make him feel better I started BBLS, which stands for Big Brother, Little Sister. BBLS was a game where we would switch ages and pretend to be each other. In 2018, when I was eleven years-old, I decided to make the adventures we went on in the game real and began writing Big Brother, Little Sister. Since I love music, reading, and have always been creative, my family was not surprised when I decided to become an author.
