Forgot to say who did the illustration and designed the cover in the original post, which went out as an email. Doh! I fixed that here.

I love this!! Your books are great reads for everyone. And hey, according to Sam Subity's data (https://www.samsubity.com/mg-landscape-2024/) only 30% of middle grade main characters are boys and only 20% of middle grade authors are boys, which is just to say that we need what you're doing all around.

Welcome to Portland from a retired Portland school librarian. I was subbing in a middle school recently and it was great to watch your books intrigue individual readers as well as a 6th grade book club!

Your books are also read by boys who used to be girls and probably girls who used to be boys and kids who are neither, too!

I can’t wait for war games!! As soon as it comes out I’ll buy it! I’m a girl reader and I want to send in fan mail but I’ve been SO busy with school ughhhh. 😭 Also I was wondering if you were ever planning to write books including ww1 or other aspects of war history such as the Soviet Union or Vietnam?
