CALLING ALL 39 CLUES FANS – ONE FALSE NOTE IS A GRAPHIC NOVEL

What can be said about the THE 39 CLUES that hasn’t been said before? Not much – except the #1 bestselling books are coming out as graphic novels! I’m so thrilled to introduce Book 2: ONE FALSE NOTE, masterfully adapted from my first contribution by Hannah Templer.

BACK TO THE ISLAND (TRILOGY)

The ISLAND trilogy represented so many firsts for me: My first adventure/survival series; my first books that weren’t primarily comedies; my first exploration of different genres; my first project that required a lot of research. Now, with millions of copies in print and millions of readers, the classic series is back with fantastic new covers, exciting old fans and winning new ones!

SCHOOLED IS IN THE NEW YORK TIMES

First of all, check out this great new SCHOOLED cover, hot off the press from Little Brown! I can’t believe I’m just posting about this now. My bad.

But the big news is that SCHOOLED was just featured in The New York Times’ 11 Books for Kids Staring Middle School. CHECK IT OUT!

215 PAPER CHAIN LINKS

I was so impressed by this powerful project from OV Jewitt Community School is Winnipeg, Canada, inspired by LINKED. 

These 215 paper links represent the 215 unmarked graves of Indigenous children found near a Canadian residential school. The grade 4/5 students noted that, at the rate of 215 links per day, it would have taken them 76 years to reach 6 million.

DON’T MISS THESE GREAT JUNE E-DEALS ON SLUGFEST!

What more is there to say? The only thing better than SLUGFEST is a great deal on SLUGFEST!

The e-book price is down to $1.99 (from $11.99) and the digital audio has been reduced to $4.99 (from $21.99).

Would it be too obvious to say … don’t be a slug? When June is over, so are these special prices!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I’d like to wish all my readers a happy, healthy 2024 full of good things and great books!

Of course, 2024 is the year of SLUGFEST – and in that way, it’s already off to a great start. Amazon has already named SLUGFEST a Best Book of the Month for January.

Of course, I haven’t forgotten 2023 – when THE SUPERTEACHER PROJECT was one of Barnes and Noble’s Best Books of the Year!

A quick apology of those of you who’ve tried to reach me via snail-mail over past little while: My publishers are only no...

MIXED UP HITS THE SHELVES TODAY!
