I didn’t plan to write a middle-grade grief trilogy — but looking at these books together, that’s what happened. 📚 The Whispers 📚 The Visitors (paperback April 7, 2026) 📚 The Travelers (Aug 2026) Kids live with grief every day. Stories help them navigate it. #KidLit #MiddleGrade #Librarians

The spirit of a 12-year-old boy is "stuck" at Hollow Pines Plantation with no idea of who he is, how long he's been there, or why he can't move on. A spooky, creepy middle-grade ghost story. 👻 😱 📕 #SchoolLibrarian #KidLit #MiddleGradeBooks #TeacherLibrarian

This is going to make them even madder. Good.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Matt McDermott claiming Tim Walz urged residents to film ICE agents in their communities, citing misconduct. The post includes a quoted statement encouraging people to record ICE agents and ‘create a database’ to preserve evidence. Below the text is a video thumbnail showing Tim Walz in a dark suit and tie speaking in a formal indoor setting, with closed-caption and audio icons on the video frame.

THE HISTORY OF SOUND features tremendous performances from Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor as two men who bond over their love of folk songs. Exploring love, loss, and the history of music, this beautiful film broke my heart. Seek this one out. #filmsky #fyc

Since leaving the Twitter-verse, I haven’t found a comparable community of educators. I don’t regret leaving—yet I miss the discussions and professional learning. Calling out to my fellow educators. Definitely miss you and look forward to learning here. #teaching #EnglishTeacher #teacherman

I’m in love with the cover of my new book coming in August 2026! The gorgeous illustration by Jen Bricking truly captures the vibe of the story. And the Penguin Kids design team knocked it out of the park. #CoverReveal #newbook #middlegradebooks #mystery #amwriting #middlegrade #books #coverart
