For the better part of the past year, I’ve been writing a series of middle grade biographies.

It’s called the “96 Facts About” series, and the first two titles in that series, 96 Facts About Taylor Swift and 96 Facts About Timothée Chalamet, will both be published by Penguin Random House on Tuesday September 19^th, 2023.

Both books are illustrated by the wonderful Risa Rodil, and they’re both packed with fun facts, quick quizzes, and bonus pages for journaling!

These books were so much fun to write, and I hope you enjoy ‘em!

And while you’re here on this site, look at Risa Rodil’s cover art for these first two “96 Facts” books. Isn’t it great?
