Did you know that Central Park was built on the site of a thriving community called Seneca Village whose residents, most of whom were Black, were forced out to clear the way for the park? I'm so looking forward to this MG mystery, coming from @dancingofpens in April!

Did you know that by mid-1850s, Seneca Village had 50 homes, 3 churches, burial grounds, and a school for Black students? I explore what would happen if a tween girl stumbled upon a magical version of the village in my book, available for preorder now!
The cover of my book! Two black girls are entering a portal to a village with older looking houses. There are green flowers and trees everywhere, and the city skyline in the background.

Thinking the area seems familiar, author note confirms my suspicions. The book is about @CorkscrewSwamp - I was there last month! The creators always do an outstanding job with all the ecosystems they highlight. @KateMessner @csneal @DISD_Libraries #NFfriday #bookaday

Finn has to figure out how to work thru his anger and grief and what better way to do that than climbing 46 peaks in the Adirondacks. This novel in verse is a 5⭐️ read and I cannot wait to share it with my students and friends. #bookposse @KateMessner @bloomsburykids @NetGalley
