Sorry about the all-capitals header, but I’m pumped up. My newest book, DODGER AND ME, hit stores last week. Also, the past few weeks have brought a flood of good news about my first novel, DRUMS, GIRLS & DANGEROUS PIE. It turns out that DRUMS has won the state book awards for both Illinois (Rebecca Caudill Award) and Minnesota (Maud Hart Lovelace Award)! Really, really exciting.
Also, I just got the details of my first-ever official multi-city book tour:

Please come and visit if you live in Seattle, Portland, Denver, or Chicago, OK?
