A Visit to Kindergarten!
I had so much fun visiting my niece’s kindergarten class. We read stories, talked about books, and wrote one about pirates and some missing treasure. And then my niece and I got to sit in a book igloo!
Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library
Thank you to the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library for having me and thank you to everyone who came! I enjoyed speaking with you all and signing copies of my books!
Summer Reading
It’s May! Which means I get to start planning which books I’m going to read over the summer—one of my favorite things to do each year. I hope you all have a list of some summer reading books you’re excited about too.
Spring Visits
Happy Spring! It’s so nice to see flowers blooming and leaves popping out on trees all over New York City. I’ve been keeping myself busy editing and teaching and writing and visiting readers—all things I love doing. Two of my visits this past month were different than usual, though.
September News
Hello and welcome back to school! I’m incredibly excited this month because The Nina, The Pinta and the Vanishing Treasure got nominated for an award—the 2012 Young Hoosier Book Award, to be exact! Three cheers for all the Young Hoosiers—and their teachers and librarians—in Indiana! Also, if you’re reading this page while in Indiana and want me to come visit your school or library, please email me so we can set something up!
SchoolTube Video
I just discovered a new website! I hadn’t heard anything about school tube until a teacher from Comal Elementary School in Texas posted a school tube video about Alec! I was so excited that I wanted to post the video here. I hope you enjoy it!
March News
Time has been flying recently! I’ve been school visiting and conference speaking and class teaching and, of course, writing. I just found out some good news, though, so I thought I’d pop on here to let everyone know.
November News
Wow, I can’t believe how quickly this fall has flown. Here are a few fun Alec-related links (and one me-related link) that I’ve been meaning to put up for awhile. Hope you enjoy!

The Ransom Note Blues is coming out so soon! We have some big plans in the works like a soon-to-be-revealed online contest and a big book launch party at Books of Wonder in NYC. More to come on all of that very soon!
Very Busy
It’s been very busy here lately! I’ve been doing a lot of school visiting, and so far have talked about Alec Flint in Boston, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island and a bunch of different towns on Long Island. But I figured I’d pop on here to share a link with you.
