Two Friends, One Cover

Delighted to reveal the cover of my upcoming chapter book, Two Friends, One Dog, and a Very Unusual Week!

“Emily knew what kind of a kid she was. The responsible kind. The kind teachers asked to take a message to the office. The kind who hung up her coat without being asked. The kind who had never been late to school. Not even once.”

And then Rani, plus her big dog Otto, move into Emily’s apartment building….

Two Friends, One Dog, and an Audiobook!

I can’t yet reveal the cover of Two Friends, so I’ll share this photo of my favorite character in the book, Otto the dog. We all need an Otto.

Very excited to share that my upcoming chapter book Two Friends, One Dog, and a Very Unusual Week (out next April) will have an audio edition put out by Listening Library! I’m so eager to hear an actor voice Rani, the narrator’s new best friend–her voice is unique and will be a lot of fun.

Here’s snippet of Rani-speak:

Salutations! Like Charlotte says. You know Charlotte, right? Charlotte’s Web? Charlotte is an Araneus cavaticus–that’s a barn spider. Did you know that the biggest spider of all is the Goliath birdeater? They don’t actually eat birds all that often. They do eat mice, though. It’s a good thing there wasn’t one of those in the barn with Wilbur, or Templeton would have been toast! Their legs can stretch over a foot long. Wouldn’t it be amazing to hear one tap dance?
