Nothing delights me more than when I find an Easter Egg hidden in the pages of a book. 🐣 That's why I snuck an OLLIE OXLEY AND THE GHOST Easter Egg into HART & SOULS. Happy hunting! 👀 #mg #mglit #middlegrade #easteregg #teachers #librarians @andrewsmcmeelkids.bsky.social @jollyfishpress.bsky.social

I visited a school for Read Across America. After I was done reading & answering questions, a fifth grader pulled me aside to tell me how anxious she was about starting middle school & how reading Hart & Souls made her feel a little less anxious. This is exactly why I wrote this story. #mglit #mg

I couldn't write a book about a 12yo musician w/out including a nod to my first celebrity crush, Steve Perry. When I was a teenager, I'd save money from my job at a hot dog stand to buy tickets to see Journey. I must have seen them half a dozen times . . . So dreamy. #mg #mglit #middlegrade

My main character, Stix in HART & SOULS idolizes the Foo Fighters. I love how illustrator, @carov-art.bsky.social
inserted a F F poster in his bedroom. It's the special details that make artwork sing. 🥰 #mg #middlegrade #mglit #kidlitart #FooFighters #drummerboy #music

I grew up reading all the old Oz books. Whenever we moved, I’d always check out the library to see which ones they had. Such old-fashion storytelling, but I still love them! #kidlitchat
