First peek at the third All Four Stars book!

Tomorrow, I'll be revealing the title and cover of the third book in the All Four Stars series on my blog...but as a newsletter subscriber, you get to see it first!

So, as Aunt Lydia would say, voila! Introducing Stars So Sweet, the final volume in Gladys Gatsby's foodie adventures. It will be in bookstores July 19, 2016. As before, the beautiful cover art has been created by Kelly Murphy and the excellent design team at Penguin.
 

ISBN-13: 978-1-101-99648-5

Summer is winding down, and Gladys Gatsby’s stomach is full of butterflies about starting middle school. But her concerns go beyond juggling schoolwork and losing touch with old friends; she also has to worry about looming deadlines from her undercover job as the New York Standard’s youngest restaurant critic.

When her editor pushes for a face-to-face meeting, Gladys knows she must finally come clean to the grown-ups in her life about her job. Her perfectly planned reveal is put on hold, though, when her parents arrive home with a surprise: Gladys’s aunt Lydia—one of the only adults who knows her secret—fresh off a plane from Paris. Gladys and Aunt Lydia try one last ruse to fool her editor at the Standard, but for how long will Gladys be able to balance the drama of middle school with her secret life?

This third book in the delicious All Four Stars series sees Gladys facing her biggest challenge yet: being true to herself and honest with her friends and family, regardless of what those around her think.

Accepting the Crystal Kite



On September 19, I had the huge honor of accepting the Crystal Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) for All Four Stars

This award is given by SCBWI to recognize great books in the 15 regional divisions of SCBWI around the world. The Crystal Kite Awards are chosen by other children's book writers and illustrators, making them the only peer-given awards in publishing for young readers.
