Holy guacamole!
The prestigious Frederick Gunn School (CT) has just released their summer reading list, and in the fiction category I’m with some heavy hitters - Angie Thomas, Jason Reynolds, Emily Henry, Elizabeth Acevedo, etc. A real “not worthy” moment, for sure!
The Florida library system for the Jacksonville area (22 branches) has just put out their 2025 "Summer Reading Recommendations" for various age groups, and I’m stoked to see THE 9:09 PROJECT on the list for high school readers.
Librarians rock! 📷📷📷

The list for Connecticut’s 2026 state reading award is out (The Nutmeg Awards), and I’m honored to be in such good company – some of my favorite “classmate” books are on this list!
Thanks to the City of Henderson, NV and the Basic Academy of International Studies for hosting us Fri/Sat as part of the awesome Henderson Reads Festival!
They made us feel like VIP rockstars, complete with “all access” laminates for the attendees. Do librarians rock or what???

What makes your writing special? What makes it unique, interesting, expressive, valuable, and compelling…? Hint – it’s not the obvious mechanical stuff like plot/structure/genre/subject matter.
It’s YOU.
And that’s the last thing you want to give up.

Can't wait for Ruby and the Chessies to be out in the world!
So excited about this book! Don't you love the cover? Coming from @HolidayHouseBks this Fall. Can't wait! #YABooks #bookcommunity #Thriller
Truly humbled to find myself on this list of faves from the Guild of Young Writers out of British Columbia, Canada. (I mean, just seeing UKL on top… swoon! Along with Brown and Baldree and Bradley and Uncle John and all the rest…)

If you're not familiar w/ the wonderful Middle Grade Matters podcast, dip your toe in here! Hope you enjoy the interview & my take on why relatable books for kids are so important. (Also there's a tease for my new thriller, coming 9/2!) Happy listening! bit.ly/43dt2DB

Humbled to end the year learning that 9:09 was named to the California Dept. of Education’s Recommended Reading List for 2024. (Full list here: school.teachingbooks.net/tb.…)
Heartfelt thanks to all the teachers and librarians who supported this little book… the book of my heart.
Some great titles here!
Check out the RHCB School & Library team’s top picks from 2024, as well as additional standouts from each category (because—let’s be real—it was impossible for any of us to choose just one favorite!). 📚 bit.ly/3ZyzKke

So great that @ETrainsWorld does this! Lifting others up and with Gravity, no less! @RHCBEducators
It’s @GivingTuesday & I just had the most incredible time speaking with & #reading to some very inquisitive second graders! Visiting students on @givingtuesdayspark is so special. We talked about the power of kindness & books & I read them the very sweet #picturebook GRAVITY IS BRINGING ME DOWN by author @WendelinVanD ! The day of giving isn’t over, but I feel so full of gratitude & joy already!
