What a thrill it was to be chosen to adapt Loren Grush’s outstanding 2023 book The Six, the story of America’s first women astronauts, for a new audience of young people. I’m over the moon that it has received great reviews from Kirkus (starred), School Library Journal (starred), Booklist, and, most recently, the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books.

Glowing review for The Six: Young Readers Edition
It was a great pleasure to be invited to write the middle-grade adaptation of Loren Grush’s book The Six, the story of America’s first six women astronauts, with all their struggles and victories. It’s another great pleasure to get this glowing starred review of the adaptation from Kirkus, which says, “This riveting account is an effortless and irresistible read that many young readers will find difficult to set down.” The Six: Young Readers Edition will be published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers on February 11, 2025.
