I love November! Cold wind, torrential rain, leaves stuck to my car! How about you?

You never know when a spontaneous sparklestorm will erupt. When life throws shade, unicorns throw sparkle. What's your go-to glitter moment? #sparkle #sparklestyle #unicorn #unicornmagic #glitter

That's amazing. A wonderful work of love from a grandmother 😍

Ping's your average winged mischief-maker until it's revealed she’s the missing princess of Pixiandria. A blink later, she’s swept into a whirlwind of royal secrets, enchanted gardens, & palace intrigue. Her first royal duty? Solve the mystery of her vanished mother! #kidlit #booksky #mglit #mgbooks

Between dragon chases, enchanted forests, and quests gone sideways, fantasy tales catapult you into new worlds. #Booksky #fantasy #books #fantasylit #thrillingnovels

Whether you crossed forests, outwitted tricksters, or survived Monday goblins, your journey is legendary. The only reason to glance back is to admire the trail of triumphs, stumbles, & spells that got you here. You’ve earned your resilience cloak. Now charge onward. #motivation

Picture yourself as a night traveler, exploring a forest trail, illuminated by the leaves' radiant glow. How magical!

Life isn’t just a journey. It’s a library full of genres, overdue lessons, & dreams. Some days you’re stuck in self-help; other days you’re living a fantasy with dragons. The trick? Keep browsing, keep believing, & don’t be afraid to rewrite your story. #booksky #libraries #lifeisalibrary #bookmagic

Every page turned is a step toward confidence, curiosity, and lifelong learning. (Ahhh, that little smile at the end!)

We must support brave kids with wooden swords, secret maps tucked under beds, & courage that grows in the wild corners of imagination. If you hear a rumble today, don’t duck for cover. Lean in. It might just be your own story waking up.

Ping might be pocket-sized, but her sass could knock over an ogre. Weaponry class? A chaotic ballet of flying daggers and faery-sized fury. Luckily, her instructor used patience and creativity to tailor each lesson to fit Ping’s pint-sized power.

I totally missed seeing it! I'm sorry it didn't live up to the book, but I vividly remember wishing for such a movie as a child. Reading the book was one of my motivations for becoming an author. I've never forgotten the experience I had reading The Wolves of Willoughby Chase!
