The Adventure Is Now is here! |
|
|
Are you ready for an adventure? After this last year, I think we all are, and my newest book, THE ADVENTURE IS NOW, is full of them! In bookstores now, here are some things you'll find in the story: - Milton P. Greene, a boy who’s been having the Most Totally, Terribly, Horribly, Heinously Rotten Year of All Time,
- a video game called Isle of Wild,
- an illustrated field guide full of clues to a hidden treasure,
- and a whole lot of never-before-seen, fantastical plants and animals.
THE ADVENTURE IS NOW is about getting outside, protecting the environment, and finding the spectaculous even when things seem completely rotten. I hope it will inspire readers to find their own adventures! Click the link below to learn more and order a copy of THE ADVENTURE IS NOW! |

QUINTESSENCE in Paperback |
|
|
My second middle-grade book, QUINTESSENCE, is now available in paperback! An NCTE Charlotte Huck Award Honor Book, QUINTESSENCE is the story of an anxious girl, a fallen star, and a magic and STEM-filled quest. One of the things I love about having paperbacks is that it makes it more affordable for classes & libraries to buy multiple copies. If you use one of my books for an all-class read or a book club, be sure to get in touch with me! I'd love to offer you a free 25-minute virtual visit and send your young readers some bookmarks. |

Other resources include: —Teaching and activity guides —Book Trailers —First Chapter Read Alouds —Book Talks —And more as I create it! The feedback I've gotten from every teachers who's used the site? Their students are so excited to read and write their own stories after! |
