About Juliana

Juliana Brandt is an author and elementary teacher with a passion for storytelling that guides her in both of her jobs. She lives in Minnesota where she grew up, and her writing is heavily influenced by travels around the country and decade living in the South. When not writing, she is usually exploring the great outdoors.

Her books, The Wolf of Cape Fen, A Wilder Magic, Monsters in the Mist, and Exit Nowhere are written for Middle Grade audiences, though anyone who’s drawn to curious magic and eerie atmosphere will enjoy them. Her fifth book, The Replay Trap, will publish Summer of 2026 from Aladdin, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. Her writing is represented by Natalie Lakosil of Looking Glass Literary.


JULIANA’S BOOKS

  • MONSTERS IN THE MIST

    When Glennon McCue moves into a lighthouse on a mysterious island, he must figure out why those who visit are never heard from again…before he and his family fall victim to the island’s curse.

  • A WILDER MAGIC

    For generations, Sybaline Shaw’s family has lived in an enchanted valley in the Appalachian Mountains, using their magic to help grow the land. But now the government has built a dam that will force the Shaws to relocate, and they’re running out of time before their home will be flooded.

  • THE WOLF OF CAPE FEN

    When Eliza Serling's little sister, Winnie, is cursed by a witch, she must break the magical bargain before the witch’s enchanted wolf steals Winnie away. This beautiful and magical middle-grade debut is about sisterhood, sacrifice, and what happens when the dreams we hide within ourselves come to light.

  • EXIT NOWHERE

    When Barret Eloise and a group of friends enter an abandoned house, they never expect to end up trapped inside and forced to play games against a ghost...

  • THE REPLAY TRAP

    Sydney Volke finds herself reliving the same terrifying day over and over when she attends an overnight campout at a wildlife center with a group of kids from school and, perhaps, a deadly cryptid, and must figure out how to break the loop-with everyone still alive.
