Ellen Cochrane writes immersive nonfiction for young readers that trusts their intelligence and their emotions. Her debut, Follow the Water, tells the true story of 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke’s survival in the Amazon. It’s an adventure that reads like a thriller and teaches how science lives in the world: weather, rivers, canopy, and the choices that keep us alive. A longtime middle-school teacher of English, English learners, Spanish, and Russian, Ellen brings classroom clarity and compassion to complex topics. She studied science writing at Johns Hopkins, is a certified California Naturalist, and previously wrote a syndicated column exploring the natural world. As a teen exchange student she lived in Lima, Peru, and traveled the same route into the jungle that frames Juliane’s story. A portion of proceeds from Follow the Water supports the Panguana Foundation, Juliane Koepcke's Amazon research station.
