Really liked @adriannacuevas.bsky.social THE NO-BRAINER'S GUIDE TO DECOMPOSITION. With pun fully intended, you will never be able to get Frani's brain spider Aranita out of your head - along with the rest of her. An extremely fun zombie novel, aimed mostly at kids, but enjoyed a ton by this adult!

Just finished this delightful novel, What Fell from the Sky by @adriannacuevas.bsky.social! Fascinating history about a military exercise in the 1950s, and of course fun speculation about a lost little alien and her family. Highly recommend! #kidlit #writingcommunity #bookreview

I don’t understand why HarperCollins refused to join other major publishers and sign the letter to Congress in support of IMLS.

So, I wrote a letter to HarperCollins.

Libraries and librarians need our support. Authors and industry professionals, please sign this letter using this form. 👇 🙏 📚

Happy 2nd birthday to the Edgar award-winning The Ghosts of Rancho Espanto! I spent this anniversary doing school visits and telling kids about Rafa, the Great Slushee Machine Heist, and the man in the green sweater.
Check out the paperback now and the Spanish edition 9/30! #kidlit #mglit

I’m struggling through edits of my latest manuscript so when I still get fan mail about my debut… it makes my day. #kidlit #mglit
Kid drawing of characters from The Total Eclipse of Nestor Lopez I really liked your book. I want to be an author too. So I would like you to give me some tips if you can. Your book was so intriguing and very nicely written. Just there is two things I would like to give feedback on. One, every single chapter was a cliffhanger. Two it would have been nice if the dad came back at the end as a surprise for Nestor.

I absolutely love how the audiobook for What Fell From the Sky came together and am thankful that Audiofile magazine loved it too! Giordan Diaz does an incredible job as Pineda. Happy listening and reading! #auidiobook #mglit #kidlit
Audiofile magazine review of What Fell From the Sky: Giordan Diaz gives a winning performance as Pineda, communicating his humor and kindness and switching between English and Spanish. As Pineda and his friends try to reunite Luisa with her parents, the mix of voices for other characters who chime in during the story’s climax reinforce the message of the power of community. Warm, funny, and timely.
