About the Author
Gertrude Scocozza and Jonathan Morales-Gonzalez, recently married, have been together for 12 years and reside in New Jersey. The idea for Krod's Chronicles came about when the couple would jokingly call each other krod instead of dork. Then, a deeper meaning developed behind it when they realized the amount of bullying going on in today's society and the important message within the meaning of being a krod. Understanding what it is like to grow up in a society where not everyone is treated equally, it was important to them to reach out to young readers and parents alike. Now, the authors are proud to invite their readers to learn what it means to be a K.R.O.D.
