My sophomore novel COPE FIELD was named a Printz Honor Book today. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to far too many people to name here. I want to say that never in my wildest dreams would I have believed this could happen, but I have always dreamed big. And you should, too.

Thank yous to my agent @sharimaurer and my editor, Meg Gaertner, and my publisher Flux/Northstar! Now to resume not posting on X. Follow me on Bluesky or Instagram!
