Meet THE KIDS IN MRS. Z’S CLASS – an exciting new multi-author series launching in April ’24!
One third grade classroom.
18 amazing kids.
18 secrets.
18 stories, each written by a different beloved author.
I’m absolutely thrilled to be heading up this new series with an incredible team of authors, along with Pura Belpré Honor illustrator Kat Fajardo and the team at Algonquin Books for Young Readers.
I’ll be writing the first and last books in the series as well as coordinating the team and our overlapping stories. Book one, EMMA MCKENNA, FULL OUT and book two, ROHAN MURTHY HAS A PLAN by Rajani LaRocca come out together on April 30, 2024.
And here’s even more exciting news…
After the series launch, Rajani and I will be hitting the road together to visit schools all over New York and New England! We’ll share a sneak preview with readers, offer a look behind the scenes at our writing process, and lead kids in a writing workshop to develop their own characters for collaborative writing with their friends.
We’ll also be offering a virtual author visit option for schools around the country, including a recorded author visit to share with readers this spring AND an invitation to participate in live Q&A at a Zoom webinar with series authors in October 2024.
Want us to visit YOUR school this spring? Just fill out this form, and we promise to be in touch soon with more information. We’ll work with our publisher this fall to select schools for our in-person book tour and send out invitations for our virtual author visits. Finally, please be sure to subscribe to my email newsletter for updates on THE KIDS IN MRS. Z’S CLASS tour and other opportunities for free & low-cost author visit opportunities.
We’ve had so much fun working on this new series together, and we can’t wait for you to meet Emma, Rohan, and all of their friends!
