Bobbie Pyron

Bobbie Pyron creates stories for younger readers, often pairing questions about belonging with close attention to animals and the natural world. Lucky Strike follows Nate Harlow, an unlucky Florida boy whose fortunes seem to change after he survives a lightning strike. His friendship with the scientifically minded Genesis Beam anchors a story about chance, loyalty, local wildlife, and the pressures that accompany sudden popularity. Scholastic published the novel for middle-grade readers and classifies it as fantasy and fiction. Her professional experience spans libraries, bookstores, and animal rescue, influences also visible in books such as A Dog’s Way Home and Stay. In Lucky Strike, a playful premise becomes a grounded examination of what good fortune means when it changes how a community treats someone.
