Born in California. Raised in New York. Went to law school, now write full time. Love: long walks, fresh notebooks, the smell of brownies, pomegranate seeds. Don't love: yogurt, spam (the email kind, and the food kind), deep water, deserted city streets. My new middle grade series, The Kindness Club, debuts this fall. Look for book 1, CHLOE ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, on November 1, 2016. Other recent books include EDGEWATER (young adult), ZACKTASTIC (middle grade), and the latest Stella Batts book—STELLA BATTS #9: SCAREDY CAT. Coming soon—AGNES & CLARABELLE, a chapter book for emerging readers (co-written by Adele Griffin), available January 2017. I love to hear from readers! Email me! Tweet me! Ask a question! I promise to reply.
