Peter Aronson is a former award-winning legal affairs journalist, a former attorney in New York City, and now he writes essays, short stories and children’s books (www.peteraronsonbooks.com). His first two middle-grade books were part of his Groundbreaker Series, about extraordinary individuals doing extraordinary things: Bronislaw Huberman: From child prodigy to hero, the violinist who saved Jewish musicians from the Holocaust was published in 2018. Jeannette Rankin: America’s First Congresswoman was published in 2019.

His current book is Mandalay Hawk's Dilemma: The United States of Anthropocene, about a young teen fighting global warming in 2030, when KRAAP (Kids Revolt Against Adult Power) is needed to save the world. Kirkus Reviews gave it a starred review and called it "A scathing work and an essential blueprint for youth battling climate change." The book was reviewed by the Booklife Prize committee and received a score of 10 out of 10 and was a quarter finalist in its annual book competition.

In addition, Aronson and co-author Shep Messing, a former U.S. soccer star, U.S. Olympian and now broadcaster for the New York Red Bulls, will publish in 2022 their trilogy of soccer novels for middle-grade readers. The books are about Teresa Rodriguez, a young teen who learns about life on and off the field when her father is suddenly deported and she must juggle family responsibility, team leadership, friendships and her love for the game. It’s a young teen’s saga for our complex and troubled times.

Aronson's books are available through Amazon, IngramSpark and at select book stores.
