edit data

Julie (J. C.) Phillipps is a born and raised Ohio girl who lives in New England. If you have a very good ear, you can still catch a little Midwestern accent. Although she has learned to say "soda" instead of "pop" and "sneakers" instead of "tennis shoes," she still thinks of the tiny candy on top of cupcakes as "sprinkles." "Jimmies" is just weird.

Wink: The Ninja Who Wanted To Be Noticed was Julie's first picture book, released March 2009. Since then she has written and illustrated three more picture books: Wink the Ninja Who Wanted to Nap, Monkey Ono, and The Simples Love a Picnic.

Julie jumped genres and is now working on making graphic novels. Her first middle grade graphic novel, Pacey Packer Unicorn Tracker, comes out August 2020 with R ...more

In some ways this is a book of short stories, with Olive taking 50% of the book as the main character, and 50% an extra in a stand-alone short story. It’s really like an ode to life in a small coastal town and the characters you find there. The pros ...more

I would give this a 3.5. It starts strong with the teasers of something major happening to disrupt the summer of 17-yr old Rachel who is “helping” her aunt & family in Greenwich. You know something major is going to go down, but you don’t know what or ...more
