  <about><![CDATA[My newest book is THE BIG BOOK OF GROSS STUFF, which will be available in early 2010. (It will not be quite as large as it appears in the photo above.)

In addition to being a middle school teacher for 15 years, I am also the perpetrator of THE BIG BOOK OF BOY STUFF, which was Amazon.com's bestselling children's book for a whole day. 

Along with my five sisters and 50 teen and 'tween girls, I co-authored THE BIG BOOK OF GIRL STUFF. And I've also written a slew of moderately amusing pocket guides, including THE POCKET GUIDE TO MAGIC, THE POCKET GUIDE TO MISCHIEF, THE POCKET GUIDE TO GAMES, and THE POCKET GUIDE TO BRILLIANCE. 

Oh, and Oregon State University Press published the second edition of AN ARCHITECTURAL GUIDEBOOK TO PORTLAND back in 2007. (It's medium-sized!)]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Mad magazine, National Public Radio, James Lileks, P.J.
