Order of Adi Alsaid Books

Adi Alsaid brings the vibrant perspective of Mexico City to the world of young adult literature. This Mexican author's journey to writing began in his hometown of Mexico City, where he spent his childhood and formative years before heading to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for his studies. Even during his college years, Alsaid's passion for storytelling was evident—he found himself absorbed in novels and working crossword puzzles rather than focusing on traditional coursework.

After graduation, Alsaid made the bold decision to pursue his writing dreams, relocating to California to dedicate himself to crafting stories for young readers. When he's not writing, you'll find him on the basketball court as a coach, showing his commitment to mentoring young people both through literature and sports.

Alsaid's diverse life experiences have taken him across continents and cultures. He's called Tel Aviv, Las Vegas, and Monterey, California home at various points, but has since returned to his roots in Mexico City, where he continues to write today.

His literary career launched in 2010 with the publication of his debut novel, Somewhere Over the Sun, marking the beginning of his contribution to young adult fiction.
