This is why I write for kids
I know authors for adults get letters from their readers, but I doubt Margaret Atwood’s fan mail is created with crayons and comes with googly eyes. And that’s her loss. I love getting letters and emails from readers and recently an amazing teacher in the...Meet Tank, a mystery-solving, tech-tinkering troll young readers will love
Last week, I sent the manuscript for Tank and Fizz #2 off to the amazing folks at Orca Book Publishers. To celebrate, I thought it’d be fun for you to meet another character from the series.

Most of it through mistakes. Many mistakes. First, I realized I needed to give my publishing...Minecraft Students are evolving. They’ll pwn teachers (and servers). And that’s awesome.
“You’ll never know more than your students. And that’s okay.” I find myself saying that a lot to teachers looking to bring Minecraft into their classrooms. Any adult who’s been within a block’s throw of a Minecraft kid knows what...Welcome to Feeding Change!
