This sounds amazing! I love Scrabble and Kim is awesome!
Out in the world today is my SCRABBLE puzzle book for kids! Officially licensed, it has over 130 puzzles for kiddos. I had a ton of fun creating these mini word games! #scrabble #puzzles #MG hachettebookgroup.com/titles…

Librarians are amazing! I just had a super school visit sharing about the weird science in The Mutant Mushroom Takeover & Attack of the Killer Komodos. The whole library was decorated with mushrooms, komodo dragons, and other book-themed swag! β€οΈπŸ„πŸ¦Ž#librariansrock #librarians

I received this gorgeous #fanart today from Hallie M. Bertling of halthegal.art. This cutie is Grumley, the baby gargoyle, from my latest MG novel, The Legend of Greyhallow! 😍

Today our 4/5/6 class had the chance to virtually meet @Summer_Rachel_ who wrote the book that they are currently reading, β€œThe Mutant Mushroom Takeover”. She read us the next chapter in the book and answered all of our questions!

Yesterday, this mushroom was half the size it is today. Could it be a nefarious mutant mushroom plotting to take over a small Texas town? πŸ„πŸ•΅β€β™€οΈ Only time will tell...

The smile says it all! This 6th grader loved this book. She said the part where the characters were in the movie the first time was especially fantastic. #bookposse @Summer_Rachel_ @SimonKIDS

Happy book-versary, Lexi!
I can't believe it's been four years! Happy Book Birthday to my MG debut, Lexi Magill and the Teleportation Tournament. Compared to #TheAmazingRace and #TheWestingGame, this was a blast to write. πŸŽ‚πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰ (still available where books are sold, lol)

Looking for lightly spooky #kidlit πŸŽƒ? Try this! When a strange glowing fungus spreads through a small town, the only ones who can solve the mystery are a science-loving girl and her youtuber best friend. Real science meets zombie fun. πŸ„πŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚οΈ #middlegradebooks #spookyseason #STEM
