Check out my classroom door for the door decoration contest. My students did most of the work, I put up the background and printed off the book covers. Shout out to some of my favorite MG books!

Check out this wonderful opportunity for an author to meet with your class for World Read Aloud Day! I've been able to connect my students with many wonderful authors and students benefit immensely. Thank you again to the authors and Kate Messner for organizing and sharing your time with students!

My students love reading novels in verse. I will definitely use the "epic album you read the lyrics to" when selling NIV to students.
Graphic novels get devoured at our school and I’ve heard the same from librarians everywhere.

NIV are sleeper hits for my students once I convince them it’s less short form nature poetry and more epic album you read the lyrics to.
As a MG author on submission, I hate hearing that MG is in a slump, although I’ve heard it said before. However, I love hearing from a middle school librarian who says kids are reading more than ever! I think shorter books are one of the keys. More NIV and graphic novels too!

I made the jump to BlueSky and I hope to connect with readers, writers, and teachers!
