Say hello to #MGin23! ✨A group of traditionally published middle grade authors debuting in 2023!✨ Follow us here and on Instagram @MGin23!

Happy Independence Day! Celebrate by watching my book review of RACING THE CLOUDS & maybe even checking out the book yourself! This is not the first book I’ve read by author @SydneyDunlap16, in fact, Sydney changed the #MGLit story-writing game in her last book, IT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY. And now Sydney is back with another incredible middle-grade read, RACING THE CLOUDS, an impactful & honest story detailing drug abuse, family trauma, and friendship. I read RACING THE CLOUDS - cover to cover - in one sitting - it’s that good! RACING THE CLOUDS is an impactful & meaningful 10/10 story that deserves a special book review. FULL REVIEW ➡️ youtu.be/9PBcsb7V0Uc?si… BLAST OFF INTO READING!🎇 #BookPosse #readingcommunity

Looking forward to this sweet story! #bookposse @SydneyDunlap16 @JollyFishPress

I’m looking forward to meeting readers and signing copies of It Happened on Saturday and Racing the Clouds on Saturday, June 28 from 1-5 pm at Barnes & Noble Copperfield! Houston peeps, please come say hi if you can!

Teachers, librarians, and parents: In celebration of Juneteenth, I wanted to share this wonderful book by my friend, @TonyaDEllis. This is a beautifully-written, lyrical picture book that joyfully showcases the origins of Houston's Emancipation Park.

Sage is resilient and has found her people (and canine) that help lift the heaviness in her heart due to events on November 21. Family can be complicated! @cdia040610 you will love Sage’s determination to fix what’s broken. @SydneyDunlap16 @JollyFishPress #BookPosse

Back from a whirlwind trip to the East Coast, presenting at the awesome MLA/DLA Annual Conference in Ocean City, MD, followed by events at two warm, welcoming bookstores: Caprichos Books, Ocean Pines, then Barnes & Noble, One Loudoun. So fun that the conference was at the beach!
