Alessandro Reale

Growing up, Alessandro Reale always had a passion for storytelling. When he was six years old, he wrote his first short story about the class teddy bear. At age eight, he penned a short detective story for the school newsletter. He then returned to tell another short story revolving around the teddy bear and his journey across the world. By age 14, Alessandro began working on his first full-length novel. This would eventually form the foundation of "Dodger's Doorway," which Alessandro officially self-published in 2011. As of 2023, Alessandro has self-published a sequel to Dodger's Doorway, a middle-grade chapter book, and seven children's books. His book, "Only One Samantha," won the Best Children's Book Award at the 2018 Indie Author Book Experience in Roselle, New Jersey. When he's not busy creating new stories, Alessandro enjoys reading, collecting comics, and playing video games.
