Heists are so in!*
(And so are cozy vibes, magical universities, and first crushes)

*For legal purposes, this is a JOKE 😃
Book cover for A BARISTA’S GUIDE TO LOVE & LARCENY by Caroline Bonin, with tagline: “It’ll take more than a spell to pass her first semester!” Cover shows a close up of an illustrated teen girl and teen boy seated at a table and looking into each other’s eyes, with a crow resting on the girl’s shoulder.

Did anyone watch the Netflix documentary titled Unknown Number? The High School Catfish. It is about a mother who catfished her daughter on the phone and caused irreparable harm. I wrote a Psychology Today blog on it - I’d love to know what you think.

When a Mother Catfishes Her Daughter
Why would a mother catfish her own daughter, as depicted in the Netflix documentary, "Unknown Number"? These could be the reasons.

Raj Sidhu's chat with TIME for Kids about his new book, Thrash Force!

As a Dungeons & Dragons player, Sidhu always imagined it would be fun to enter one of the stories he and his friends created. He thought he’d write a story “about a couple of kids who do go into their own adventure,” he said.
Defeat the Doom
TFK Kid Reporter Marvin Pierre read Thrash Force and interviewed its author, Raj Sidhu. Read Marvin’s thoughts below. Thrash Force is a fantasy adventure written by Raj Sidhu. The book was inspired by...

Great response to people who don’t read fiction

(from The Assistant by Bernard Malamud)
He asked her what book she was reading. "The Idiot. Do you know it?" "No. What's it about?" "It's a novel." "I'd rather read the truth," he said. "It is the truth."

Great fun (in the sun!) at Chappaqua yesterday. Eventually sold out of "ABCity" and "A Day in the Desert" books. Signed lots of titles!!! Buddy author Cindy Weill was at next table with her beautiful bilingual books.
