For all you Wendy Mass fans!  This came out YESTERDAY!

The first 7 chapters are being offered for free on Kindle right now.  Also, Mark Turetsky, one of the narrators in one of my all-time favorite audio books, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, is narrating Pi in the Sky for the audio book (he narrated The Candymakers, too)!  Here's is a cool blog post and video by him about it:

Also interesting news for Wendy Mass fans - The Candymakers book is being made into a movie!

 

 

 

I love Jarrett J. Krosoczka (author of the graphic novel series, Lunch Lady) - he's just a great guy (I met him at the Dublin Lit Conference in Feb.) and so creative!
