New town, new school, & a grandpa she thought was dead—when Mom moves them again, 12-yr-old Mandy is trapped within her mom’s lies. Now she’s got an alien-obsessed grandpa, a school bully, & Mom’s secrets to unravel before tragedy strikes again. #PitMad, #MG, #CON

An unusual experiment in one of a prison. Prisoners were given furry ones for guardianship for good behavior. The prisoners became calmer and kinder and even began to work more in return for toys and goodies for cats.

In threes, 12 yo Maisie counts with each move. This time to meet a grandpa who didn’t die years ago. Ending OCD is impossible when a tornado and serious illness threaten her found family. #kidlitpit #MG #STEM #MH

12 YO Maisie relies on her OCD habits to keep her and Mom safe. It’s just them against the world. But no routine prepares her for moving in with a grandpa Mom said was DEAD. Maisie determines to uncover the secret that kept them apart. #KidLitPit #MG #STEM #MH

I'm trying to convince myself to hit send on 4 agent requests from a MGHUB Pitch Perfect contest. I just want to celebrate a little longer. #MG #AMWriting #Contemporary #STEAM

These courageous 10 year olds are EVERYTHING. Hear how they’re being impacted by #BookBanning. Hear them talk about their love for reading and their heartbreaking question to legislators! I’m so proud of them. They deserve better! #StopBanningBooks #FinallySeen #BeLoud #BeSeen

12 yo Maisie's OCD is her secret. Mom's is Grandpa Harry is ALIVE and lives in a purple house in Kansas. When they move in with him, Maisie loves him. But after uncovering the secret, Maisie must choose to keep silent or not, risking losing Grandpa forever. #KidLitPit #MG #OWN

Moving AGAIN triggers Maisie's OCD after she learns Mom's lie-Grandpa isn't dead & they're moving into his weird purple house. When she uncovers the secret that tore the family apart, she has to choose: stay silent or risk losing Grandpa forever. #KidLitPit #MG #OWN

TODAY: Keller ISD, near Fort Worth, is voting on a policy to ban students’ access to books about transgender and non-binary people. This unlawful and discriminatory policy seeks to erase trans and non-binary students and will have harmful repercussions if passed.
