The Stupendous Switcheroo: Born to be Bad -- Out now!

THE STUPENDOUS SWITCHEROO: Born to be Bad is out TODAY! The second book in our series completely twists things around as Switcheroo teams up with a villainous new crew for an epic jailbreak!!

It's a hilarious and heartfelt new adventure that forces Switcheroo to question his own character and what it means to fight for what’s right. Mary Winn Heider and I had such an absolute blast bringing this silly (and sincere) story to life, and we hope it will be just as much fun for our readers, too!

My next children’s graphic novel is Doodleville, coming out this June! It’s a magical exploration of creativity and collaboration set in my neighborhood of Chicago — with field trips to the Art Institute!

Doodleville is about kids coming together to solve a monstrous problem of their own making—there’s drawing, an emotional adventure, and an epic battle of good and evil. I’m excited to share more soon!
