A founding father book censor? Apparently, old Thomas Jefferson didn't necessarily think highly of kids reading novels! (Link in comment) - “A great obstacle to good education is the inordinate passion prevalent for novels, and the time lost in that reading which should be instructively employed. when this poison infects the mind, it destroys it’s tone, and revolts it against wholesome reading. reason and fact, plain and unadorned, are rejected. nothing can engage attention unless dressed in all the figments of fancy;"

Celebrate Morse Code Day (April 27th) by decoding this hidden message on the Boston Red Sox scoreboard! Or read my first Ballpark Mysteries book, The Fenway Foul-Up, to discover what it says!

Here's something a little different--my first taxi ride without a driver! Took a Waymo taxi in San Francisco on Monday while I was out there researching new books and recorded this short clip... FYI--I made to my destination safely! It's a very strange experience...

During my author visit to a Bayville, NJ school, a student who had read TEE TIME ON THE MOON brought the perfect moon-golf T-shirt to share with me! Love seeing books connect with readers like this. Keep reading and reaching for the stars! #kidlit #authorvisit #MoonGolf #stemreads #booksforkids #readingisfun

So this is cool. I’m in a vending machine! Greenwood School in Warwick RI has a book vending machine stocked with Ballpark Mysteries! I hope kids don’t try to eat them!
