And in fun news, the launch party at High Five Books in Florence, Massachusetts at 5 pm this Saturday is going to include a scavenger hunt. The store is making sure all the books are stocked, and each will have a letter in a bookmark to spell out a quote. Drop by if you're local!

It's got some deeply autobiographical notes to it. I also did a thing I can't really tell you about, but you'll know by the time you're done what it was. Plus, I got to highlight some of the amazing middle grade literature and nonfiction available these days in a 72 book reading log.

Thanks Kate. I'm really proud of this one. It's about loneliness and sense of self and big things

One of the many special things about this book is a log of 72 (mostly real) books Chris reads over the summer. I had a lot of fun (and a little stress) picking out which books to include. A launch party scavenger hunt for all 72 will reveal a mystery quote. Prizes!
