Heya <<First Name>>,

For me, the current reading is a smorgasbord.

I’m revisiting some books from childhood, plus catching up on some Newberys and books you all have recommended. (Yes, “The Gruffalo” is wonderful.)

How about you?

Let us know in the Read-Aloud Rec Room. Or share a pic!

And if you’re looking for your next book, check out our recommendations page.

Happy reading.

Our latest read-aloud wraps up!

We’ll officially publish “Scar and the Wolf” this fall, along with the second book in the Plainfield Chronicles series, “Moldylocks and the Bear.” But for now (and always) you can read it free on our Storyblog.

This week, the story concludes with a big zombie birthday party. The highlight is the Stubbz Boyz performing a song whose tune you may recognize. Here’s an excerpt:

“Wastin’ away down there inside of Barnaby.
Project Haggis was under assault.
Scarlet might claim
that others should be to blame
‘Cause she knew … it was so not her fault.”
