COVER REVEAL!!! Super excited to share with you the cover and purple sprayed edges of my forthcoming kids' book, THE IMAGITORIUM, a middle-grade fantasy about a girl and her imaginary friend who set off to save a magical factory full of fantastic creatures! Think Willy Wonka meets Howl's Moving Castle meets Build-A-Bear for imaginary friends! Huge thanks to the wonderful cover artist, Alessia Jon Trunfio, and everyone at Feiwel & Friends/Macmillan who graced my book with this gorgeous cover! THE IMAGITORIUM comes out on 3/2/2027 and is available for preorder now!

INCREDIBLE NEWS!!! My editor just called to tell me that my YA cozy fantasy THE FARAWAY INN hit #1 on the New York Times YA Paperback Bestseller List!!! This is a monthly list, so it covers all of April! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who read, shared, and told your friends about this book! And huge thanks to my agent Andrea Somberg and my editor Lydia Gregovic, who believed in this book before anyone else did, and the incredible team at PRH/Delacorte whose hard work made this possible! I published my first YA book in 2009. THE FARAWAY INN is my ninth YA book and my first YA to hit the NYT list. To hit at #1 is an unbelievable dream come true, and I am beyond grateful.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Independent Bookstore Day!!! I had a blast signing books with Jen Calonita and Tessa Bailey at Northport Books in Northport, NY!

I had the most amazing time on book tour!!! Thank you to all the readers who joined me on this adventure! I loved meeting you, chatting with you, and celebrating THE FARAWAY INN with you!
