I just turned in my second book for the first round of edits, and it should be out some time in the spring or summer of 2023.

Hi- I am a school librarian. I am interested in your book (thank Megan Freeman) for our school Reading Road Trip. Also, we plan a whole school read aloud in January/Feb. Is there any chance there will be a paperback soon? I am on the book selection committee for the organization Read To Them that coordinates the One School, One Book events, and this is one I intend to read and nominate for that purpose!

Thank you very much for your interest! A paperback edition will be coming out on February 7th, 2023. …moreHi Dawn,
