The Very Latest In Wearable Tech…
Recently, I wrote a Lilo & Stitch activity book called The Galactic Federation Nighttime Handbook. It’s out NOW from Scholastic! And the reason this is a “Nighttime Handbook” is that many of the activities and writing prompts in the book are sleep-themed. That is, they revolve around concepts such as sleep, dreams, the stars in the night sky, pajamas, your bedtime routine, and that sort of thing. So if you’re looking for a book that will help your kid get into the right frame of mind to power down and get ready for bed each night, this book should do the trick.
Here’s the official publisher description of The Galactic Federation Nighttime Handbook:
Greetings, Citizen of Earth! Welcome to the Galactic Federation! Experiment 626, also referred to as “Stitch,” is away on an interplanetary mission. In his place, he’s recommended you to help the Federation complete some very important tasks! To be a successful Galactic Federation operative, you’ll need to think and act like one. The activities and writing prompts in The Galactic Federation Nighttime Handbook will help you do so. In addition, you’ll be the first to use the Galactic Federation’s newest piece of wearable tech: the Supreme Lateral Energized Exoskeletal Polygonal Multifaceted Auxiliary Sensory Kudzuscope, or S.L.E.E.P. M.A.S.K.
That’s right, the book comes with a free Stitch-themed sleep mask, which is blue, furry, and super-adorable. However, I decided to make the sleep mask part of the book’s narrative. So, as the book’s official description explains, this is no mere sleep mask. It’s actually a piece of wearable tech, called the “S.L.E.E.P. M.A.S.K.” And in order to complete some of the activities in the book, you’ve got to wear the S.L.E.E.P. M.A.S.K. while you complete said activities!
(But that only applies to a handful of the activities in this book. For most of them, you don’t need to wear the S.L.E.E.P. M.A.S.K.)
And I should also mention that this book is only available for distribution through the school market. In other words, it’s exclusively available through Scholastic Reading Events, so you won’t be able to find it on Amazon or on Barnes & Noble’s website.
However, you CAN get it via this website.

The Billie Eilish “96 Facts” Book Is Out NOW!
For some time now, I’ve been writing a series of middle-grade celebrity biographies called the “96 Facts” series for Penguin Random House. (This shouldn’t be news to you. I mean, come on, I just mentioned it in my previous blog post!)
Anyway, the eighth book in that series – 96 Facts About Billie Eilish – came out TODAY. And as with all of the other “96 Facts” books, 96 Facts About Billie Eilish is illustrated by the amazing Risa Rodil.
Here’s the official publisher description of 96 Facts About Billie Eilish:
The ultimate fact book and journal for fans of Billie Eilish! Packed with fun facts and quick quizzes about the superstar singer, as well as bonus pages for journaling, this is a must-have for any Billie Eilish fan.
You can buy a copy of the book HERE and HERE.
And to see all of the other books I’ve written for Penguin Random House, click HERE.
When you get a chance, you should also check out the “96 Facts About…” page on my website, because that page is relatively new and people seem to like new things. From what I understand, anyway.
