The Enchanted Life of Valentina Mejía is OUT NOW and has been receiving some wonderful praise! More on the book, including where to pre-order and reading group guide, here.

Just announced: My next middle grade novel, GROW UP, LUCHY ZAPATA–about art & soccer-obsessed 11-year-old Luchy Zapata, whose middle school dreams go up in a poof of glitter when her BFF ditches her–is coming summer 2024 from Atheneum Books for Young Readers! View the announcement here.

Also coming in 2024: a picture book Lupita’s Hurricane Palomitas, illustrated by Anastasiya Kanavaliuk (Beaming Books, summer); and a short story in All the Love Under the Vast Sky, a YA anthology of short stories in verse about love, edited by Kip Wilson (Nancy Paulsen Books, winter).
