About HEIDI
Heidi R. Kling writes relatable young people in fantastic situations – books that beg the question: what would you do in their shoes?
Her latest, WHERE I FOUND YOU, is the 10-year anniversary paperback version of hardcover award-winning debut SEA (PenguinTeen) about a teen who joins her father in a overseas mission to help Indonesian kids orphaned by the tsunami.
Its much-anticipated sequel WHERE THE SEA TAKES ME, released with Entangled Teen June, 2018. PAINT MY BODY RED, a contemporary mystery, takes place in pressure cooker Silicon Valley and a dilapidated ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Boasting the importance of family, self-regulation and perseverance reviews coin it “balm for the soul” and “a must read for teens and adults.”
Her lighter novels and fantasy works include NOT OKAY, CUPID, a comedy of errors and seaside revenge and forthcoming MASQUERADE GIRL.
Heidi also created the fantasy series Spellspinners of Melas County, an interactive gaming app with a start-up about talented witches and warlocks competing for dark and light magic.
What People Say About My Books
An amazing and moving novel. Heidi Kling’s prose is gorgeous and brings this story to life.
A moving story…beautifully written…that succeeds in breaking open what is a tricky topic. A novel deserving of praise and success.
Strongly recommend to readers who enjoyed Laurie Halse Anderson’s SPEAK…overall an amazing story that handles tough topics with grace.

“I was almost nervous to read this book. The subject matter seemed as if it could take me to a dark place that was just too dark. It was a bit how I felt when I first started reading the Hunger Games. Do I really want to go where this author is going to take me? Do I trust that I’ll emotionally be OK after reading it? There are just certain subjects that feel too serious. Too raw. I am so glad that I trusted and read. As someone who has lived in Silicon Valley, I especially appreciated the insight provided and the “character development” of the setting – rang true. Felt real. I have friends and family who have struggled with thoughts of suicide. I didn’t know if I could enjoy a book on this topic. Reading it was actually a balm for my soul – as this topic is one that I continue to struggle to understand.
A few weeks now after reading, I still love the emotion that tugs at me when I think about it. It has stayed with me. In a good way.
