Hello there. Recent blog posts are linked at the right. For information about me and my books, check out the other pages of this site.
COMING SOON
For 2026, my adaptation for young readers of Ned Blackhawk’s award-winning history The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of US History. Cover reveal and details here. And a new edition of my YA adaptation of Ronald Takaki’s history of multicultural America.
Two books were published in 2025. The Six, a middle-grade version of Loren Grush’s bestseller about the first US women in space, earned multiple starred reviews. I posted about it here and here. Super Navigators, adapted from a book by David Barrie, is a beautifully illustrated account of what science tells us about how animals find their way in the world. I posted about it here and here.
A FEW EARLIER FAVORITES
In 2009 I had the pleasure and privilege of adapting a landmark book by historian Howard Zinn into A Young People’s History of the United States. This revised and expanded second edition was published in 2023. I posted about it here.
