Welcome To My New Blog
Thank you for finding my new blog. I’ll be writing about young adult and middle-grade books. I consider myself a “boy” author. I will spend much of my time discussing books currently marketed for boys, and wondering if we challenge boys or talk down to them. I hope to hear from a lot of boys about this subject. I plan to begin making frequent posts after July 4th.

I just finished and really enjoyed reading “Houdini”!! I’m 9 years old and in third grade, but read at a fifth grade level, do you think i’ll enjoy “What Happened”?? Or can you suggest another one of your books for me to read next? thanks, Lucas
Lucas:
Thanks for reading Houdini. “What Happened” is for kids 14 and above. Next spring I will another middle-grade novel coming out. Keep reading.
