MEET JOSEPH SCARDINO

Joseph Scardino is the author and creator of Pebble Lane Kids, a South Jersey 1980s coming-of-age world inspired by his real childhood growing up on a tight-knit street where bikes meant freedom, streetlights meant curfew, and every kid had a story.

The Real Childhood Behind the Fiction

The names have been changed. The trouble has been turned up. But the feeling behind Pebble Lane Kids is real: the friendships, dares, embarrassment, loyalty, growing pains, and ordinary moments that somehow became unforgettable.

Why He Writes These Stories

Joseph writes Pebble Lane Kids for readers who remember what it felt like to walk into school hoping they made it through the day without getting embarrassed, crushed, or laughed at. The stories are funny, honest, family-friendly, and built around the kind of friendships people never forget.

About Joseph
