RESTART SPANS THE GLOBE!
It looks as if RESTART will be the next of my books to make a big splash in different countries around the world.
Here’s the first international edition – from Bayard Juenesse in France.
(Wait – who’s Ben? Turns out that a few of the character names didn’t work in French. So Chase is Ben in this translation; Shoshanna is Hannah.)

COUNTDOWN TO LEVEL 13
SLACKER fans – the wait is almost over! On June 25, Cameron Boxer, the world’s favorite video-game-addicted couch potato, is coming back in LEVEL 13: A SLACKER Novel. It’s been so much fun touring schools, libraries, and bookstores, talking about the first book. I’m so psyched for the reaction to LEVEL 13!
Spoiler Alert: A beaver is involved. (Wait! I think I’ve said too much …)

Shame on me … and woo-hoo!

One of the books I’ve always been most proud of is POP, my young adult novel about the oddball friendship between a high school football player and a retired NFL linebacker who suffers from CTE.
But a lot has changed since POP first came out in 2009. The diagnosis of CTE barely existed back then. And I’ve always wished I could re-release POP with the very latest information about Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.
On May 7, that’s finally happening, thanks to my editors at HarperCollins and Sc...
