Thrilled to share UNFINISHED with readers very soon. Thank you Kristie Choi and Simon & Schuster for helping usher this into the world!

Today's the day! My full comics adaptation of LIES MY TEACHER TOLD ME is out-- more relevant and essential than ever before. This one's for the late, great James Loewen!

Get one from your local shop, the usual online places, or directly from me-- links to all in my linktree!

I'm headed to TCAF and visiting a few days early. Any schools in the area interested in a school visit? May 9 or 10. Please email me [email protected] #kidlit #mg

PLS help: What to bring a 10 year old who suddenly got VERY ill and spent a week in the hospital (will be okay and home soon)?
