Welcome to the WONDERS OF WEIRD!

I am a children's writer specializing in all things weird and wonderful and the critical thinking skills necessary to evaluate the evidence. My school visits explore those quirky topics and reliable research skills.  My goal? To empowers kids and to celebrate what makes us all unique.

These books I've written (and a few more) are still in print: 

Wild Dogs (2005),  Tales of the Cryptids (2006), Dinosaur Parade (2008), Saving the Baghad Zoo (2010), In Search of Sasquatch (2011)
Alien Investigation (2012), Girl Meets Boy (2012) Tiger in Trouble (2012),  Courageous Canine (2013), Ghostly Evidence (2014), Animal Rescue Series (2015/2016), Lie Detector: Dinosaurs (2016), Lie Detector: Animals (2016).

These books are out of print, but I still love them.  Hope you do, too:

 I Bought a Baby Chicken (2001), Dinosaur Mummies (2003) , Albino Animals (2004), Mysteries of the Mummy Kids (2007), Wild Horses (2008), Hatchlings: Life Size Baby Dinosaurs (2012).

What's next?  DEATH EATERS: THE SCIENCE OF DECOMPOSITION and TARDIGRADES: TOUGH BUT TINY are on the immediate horizon.  African wild dogs, women in paleontology and the elusive Australian thylacine are on deck.  I'm also working on a new fiction series about a brother and sister in search of cryptids. I hope it will be fun. 

Is there something you want me to write about?  Let me know at kellymilnerh@aol.com.  Anything is possible!

Kids often ask me, "What would you do if you met Sasquatch?"

When they do, I try to describe this video.  This is exactly what I'd do, and I hope it would end this magically, too!

LOOKING FOR OTHER WORLDLY EXPERIENCES?

Great!  My new book, GHOSTLY EVIDENCE from Millbrook Press at Lerner is now available.  Explore the basics of paranormal investigation.  Explore world famous haunted places and places you've never considered before.  Review world famous hoaxes and moments hard to define as anything but mysterious.  You can even consider the ghostly moments I experience myself during four years of cross country investigation (see YouTube video below)!  The book may give you goose bumps, but it will definitely give you food for afterlife thought!
