about this author

Melissa Wiley recently survived a 3000-mile minivan trip with five children under twelve (including an infant and a hard-of-hearing toddler) and no other adults. She has now finished unpacking her husband's comic-book collection in their new home in Southern California. When she is not having wild adventures with her nature-loving brood, she is writing children's books and blogging about home education. She is the author of The Martha Years and The Charlotte Years novels. To learn more about her work, visit Melissa's author blog, Here in the Bonny Glen, at www.melissawiley.com.

Pink and Orange

This is not an ordinary week. My big kids are off adventuring with their grandparents and cousin. The little ones and I are keeping busy at home—really at home because Scott's car engine blew out on his way home Monday. He's got the minivan for the week.


We've got this.
