It’s official! My Knives Out-inspired cozy mystery for kids hits shelves in February! Best enjoyed in a decrepit Victorian mansion with a steaming mug of tea and a thunderstorm raging outside… Cover reveal coming soon… 👀 @randomhousekids.bsky.social

I’m thrilled to announce that Trex is a Sunshine State Young Reader Award nominee for 2025-26! ☀️ What I love most about state lists is that they’re selected directly by teachers, librarians, and students, and this one is particularly special coming from my home state. What a tremendous honor! 🥰

Two of my favorites in the same place!! Love to see it, but it’s unfair that I wasn’t there too.

Shout out to @christynewrites.bsky.social and her new book The Curse of the Dead Man's Diamond. My daughter and I loved this! So fun and spooky and unpredictable. And great for lovers of classical music, too. #kidlit #middlegrade

The 10yo insisted on a poop emoji cake for her birthday and used the leftovers to make very realistic “cake poops” Fast forward to 10pm, mid-sleepover, and the girls are screaming that the dog pooped in the living room. OR he got hold of a cake poop 🤔 Thus began the worst game of Is It Cake? ever
