FYI parents, especially the woo woo folks, she has an amazing book called root magic that kiddo absolutely loved (NGL, i loved reading it with kiddo, too)

“Not Quite A Ghost” by Anne Ursu was wonderful. Great homage to “The Yellow Wallpaper” short story. Great representation, deals with invisible illnesses and the reliability of the narrator.

Sixth-grader Violet deals with a move to a new house, middle school & shifting friends when she's flattened by a virus (not covid)...and there is something evil in her attic room. #NotQuiteAGhost by Anne Ursu is a page turner that hooked the 11-yr old reader in me. #MGlit #kidlit 📚👍🏻

Today's library haul features two of my fellow MG Stoker Award nominees, @adriannacuevas.bsky.social and @edenroyce.bsky.social 🥰 Hype!!!

The book I didn't know I needed to read right now but 100% needed to read right now. Wow! Thanks, @anneursu.bsky.social. Recommending this one everywhere! (Really! My doctor on Monday said she has an 11 year old daughter and wanted book recs and I held up your book and said, ooooh, this one!)

What an honor to have two books on Kirkus's list of Best Books of the 21st Century (So Far)! Congratulations to Anne Ursu, Ingrid Law, and all the authors on this epic list. @anneursu.bsky.social @ingridlaw.bsky.social

To celebrate Read Across America and National Reading Month, The Week Junior chose one middle grade book set in each state across the United States. We're thrilled to see THE CREEPENING OF DOGWOOD HOUSE representing South Carolina! 🥳 @edenroyce.bsky.social

I'm a huge fan of Eden Royce, a talented Gullah Geechee author! I had the privilege of speaking with her previously and although we couldn't meet in person due to her residing abroad, our conversation was a wonderful opportunity to share my appreciation for her writing. Check the ALT: "Root Magic".

I’ve finished copy edits(!), done this morning’s round of shovelling in our three-day blizzard, and now I get to settle in with NOT QUITE A GHOST by the incomparable @anneursu.bsky.social. This is a home run first page.

Last night, HARRIET TELLS THE TRUTH won the SCBWI Sid Fleischman Award for Humor!! FINALLY--I'm officially funny! I'm so grateful to the judges and SCBWI, as well as my editor and the whole HarperCollins Team, and of course Dung Ho, whose illustrations crack ME up!

HOLLOW TONGUE and THE CREEPENING OF DOGWOOD HOUSE are Bram Stoker Award finalists! Thank you to @rdspress.bsky.social, @waldenpondpress.bsky.social, @rjacksonjoseph.bsky.social, & to everyone who read, reviewed, bought, shared, & loved on my work. Congratulations to all the nominees & finalists!

THE CREEPENING OF DOGWOOD HOUSE is a 2025 Walter Award Honoree! The Walter Dean Myers Awards for Outstanding Children’s Literature have celebrated diverse books by diverse creators since their establishment in 2016.

6 more weeks of winter calls for appropriate reading material! ❄️ Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” Breadcrumbs is a stunningly original modern-day fairy tale, a heartbreaking meditation on how growing up is as much a choice as it is something that happens to us.

Sometimes you just have to take the leap. 🌊 John David Anderson, beloved author of Posted and Ms. Bixby’s Last Day, returns with DIVE, a new middle grade novel coming this August. #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #mglit #johndavidanderson #CoverReveal
