This time last year I was 1) extremely pregnant and 2) making Dustin Kramer drive us on a three-hour-long detour so that I could see the desert where my protagonist Dorothy grew up. (And where a UFO crashed in 1947. 👽) #EyesontheSky #middlegrade #historicalfiction #roswell

THE LIST OF UNSPEAKABLE FEARS is the 2024 Georgia Children's Book of the Year! Knowing that Essie's story resonated with so many kids has me absolutely glowing. Thank you to Georgia Children's Book Awards and Conference and to everyone who read!!

It's the middle of July, so time to start thinking about school again. If anyone would like to donate a book to my classroom, THANK YOU. These are my top 12 under $10. Authors, retweets are amazing!📚💙📚 #clearthelist amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

I wrote most of THE LIST OF UNSPEAKABLE FEARS during the start of the pandemic, when things were extra frightening and uncertain, so my struggles with an anxiety disorder became an important part of Essie’s story. I love seeing this topic gain so much ground in middle grade. ❤️

Today is the day! THE JAKE SHOW is officially out in the world.

A Jewish (and kinda TV-obsessed) kid with very different divorced parents lies his way to a summer camp neither side would approve of.

Good luck out there, JAKE. Been such a joy to bring you to this point.

Y'all, I am TELLING YOU. This year's CFF is gonna be special. Do not miss it. (Also, I'll be there and I give great hugs.)

Book friends!! Excited to share the EPIC cover of THE SECRET OF THE DRAGON GEMS, co-written by me and the one & only 📚🧁🔅 Rajani LaRocca 💗⚾️🧬, coming August 29 from little bee books?! Huge thanks to nerdybookclub for hosting the cover reveal!

When people ask what the protagonists in my books are like, I should just show them this reel of an 11-year-old girl crossing some treacherous-looking rocks to carry a shark to safety. #mgbooks #kidlit
