I'm honored to have won the
PEN/Phyllis Naylor Grant
for Children's and Young Adult Novelists
for my work-in-progress!
THE TURNING is in paperback!
Check out the Discussion Guide, with questions and activities! And somehow, the cover illustration by Vashti Harrison looks even more gorgeous. Find it at your local independent bookstore, or here:
Oregon Spirit Book Award
THE TURNING was named the winner in the Middle Readers category of the Oregon Spirit Book Award by the Oregon Council of Teachers of English! This honor is especially meaningful because of all the amazing, life-changing work these teachers do every day, bringing kids the magic of words and inspiring them to make their own magic.
