Not sure if this reader has been talking to my doctor lately. But I pride myself on my responsiveness to questions that arrive in the mail, so I pinched myself this morning, and I’m happy to report that I felt a little pain, leading me to the conclusion that I’m still alive. Hooray! (I’m 51, […]
Rudy Miller is back! Well, technically, he never left. But I WANT TO GO HOME had been reborn with a brand new cover for this old classic – the first book I ever wrote that wasn’t about Bruno and Boots and Macdonald Hall. I WANT TO GO HOME began when I was in ninth grade, […]
Guess what! MASTERMINDS is in the New York Times Book Review! CHECK IT OUT!
Mesmerizing news from Florida: THE HYPNOTISTS has been nominated for Sunshine State Young Readers Award. And it only took a little “suggestion …” from me.

More awesome honor news – JACKPOT, the 6th book in the SWINDLE series, has been chosen as one of the best books of the year by Bank Street College of Education. Psyched, psyched, psyched about this! It’s especially nice to see a novel from deep into a series get some recognition, which doesn’t happen very […]
News flash: The kids of Colorado have chosen UNGIFTED for the 2015 Colorado Children’s Book Award! Woo-hoo! Tin Man and I will be in Denver to accept the award in person. (Well, maybe not Tin Man. You know, unless we can find an airline with a Robots Fly Free policy.)
