New Mini Read
Quinton Wyatt's summer break is going great! He's landed his dream job at the local movie theater. He adores his new baby brother. And he's deeply in love with T.J. Shapleigh — a boy he's had a crush on since the sixth grade. But when T.J.'s house catches fire, it's a tragedy not only for the Shapleigh family but for Quinton as well. This "mini read" excerpt is taken from My Summer (Under a Crescent Moon), Chapter 12: Ashes.

I produced this video for Multnomah County Library. It features my friend and fellow author Ruth A. Musgrave, who discusses how books can introduce kids to science, nature and conservation.
I'm very pleased and humbled to announce that My Summer (Under a Crescent Moon) was nominated by a reader and then voted one of the top LGBTQIA young adult books of 2021 by Goodreads readers!
