“Minecraft: Mobs in the Mansion” is out NOW!

Time is a construct. However, it’s OUR construct. (“Ours” as a society, I mean.) So as we use this imperfect system called a “calendar” to mark our time here on this tainted blue orb we call Earth, I wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Year!

And not to turn these totally warm and earnest new year wishes into a blatant narcissistic plug for a new project, BUT – how to say this non-narcissistically? – I have some news to share:

I wrote a Minecraft children’s book called Mobs in the Mansion, which was published today by Penguin Random House. It was illustrated by the amazing Alan Batson. Here’s the official publisher description of the book:

Journey into the world of Minecraft in this Step 3 Step into Reading, the only official leveled reader series based on Minecraft, one of the world’s best-selling video games!

Minecraft® is one of the best-selling video games of all time! And now learning to read has never been more fun for players of the game ages 4 to 7. They’ll get a great introduction to the game’s most mysterious biomes when two players, Emmy and Birch–and their tame wolf Byte–set out on an epic adventure to explore a dark Minecraft mansion!

And if you want to know more:

Last but definitely not least, feel free to check out some of the other books I’ve written for Penguin Random House.

The First Two “96 Facts” Books Are Out NOW!

In a previous blog post, I talked about a series of middle grade celebrity biographies I’ve been writing.

It’s called the “96 Facts” series. And the first two titles in that series, 96 Facts About Taylor Swift and 96 Facts About Timothée Chalamet, came out TODAY from Penguin Random House.

Both books are illustrated by the incredible Risa Rodil, and they both feature quizzes, bonus journal pages for writing, and more!

BTW, as I type these words, 96 Facts About Taylor Swift is already the #1 New Release in Children’s Popular Music on Amazon!

For more info:

Check out the 96 Facts About Taylor Swift and 96 Facts About Timothée Chalamet pages on the Penguin Random House site.

You can also check out the Amazon pages for both books.
