As a long-time fan of @GeoffRodkey's books, I knew his new novel for adults would be wise, tender, smart-& of course, hilarious-& man, was I right. Don't miss #LightsOutInLincolnwood! @PublishersWkly called it "irresistible": https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-06-306592-5 @HarperPerennial #amreading ⁩ https://t.co/yUNEcDmBqa

If you love #mglit, THE HOUSE THAT WASN'T THERE by @ElanaKArnold should be at the top of your TBR list—it's hopeful and magical and shouldn't be missed.

Lots of great #mglit books on the way this fall, but one that I'm really looking forward to is THE MIDNIGHT CHILDREN by the one and only @DanGemeinhart. Dan's books are treasures. Coming August 30 from @mackidsbooks! https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250196729/themidnightchildren https://t.co/EuVPsGRo7p

Wishing the happiest of book birthdays to @lisa_mcmann. I adored CLARICE THE BRAVE. It's a true adventure story, full of courage, loyalty & love. Move over, Stuart Little--there's a new seafaring mouse in town! #mgbooks #middlegradebooks #mgfiction #kidsbooks @nerdybookclub

Less than three months till #Dogtown! 🤖🐶 I loved working with Gennifer @choldenko on this book. Gennifer is brilliant and funny and—thank goodness—so much better at plotting than I am! What a dream. Art by the wonderful Wallace West! Pre-order: https://t.co/YkGP0VjWBh https://t.co/uQeSMC7Gsf

There's a reason I bought 20 copies of @kellyyanghk's wonderful book last week. Kids need to be reading FRONT DESK. Not some replacement book. THAT book. https://t.co/B6zc5u0bet https://t.co/zO3HmCaZkE
