I'm so excited to share the cover of my next book- my first MG novel in 10 years! THE BOOK OF JUPITER is the story of Ara, a girl realizing she has grown up in a cult and that much of what she has been taught is a lie. The gorgeous cover art is by Risa Hugo. Coming June 2, from Kids Can Press.

Canadian Authors and Illustrators Against Book Bans strongly condemns the ongoing book bans in Alberta, and the secrecy surrounding the lists of banned titles. When public schools are banning books in school libraries, Canadians have a right to know what books are being targeted.
We urge Alberta’s school boards to make public all lists of banned titles.

My friend M came to Canada in 2024, as a refugee. Her closest friend and her friend's young daughter had been accepted for resettlement in the US and were awaiting travel dates- and then the Trump administration closed the door and abandoned them. So my friend M decided to do something to help.

This should be major news: literally dozens of book bans in Canada today, because of a ministerial order by Alberta's provincial government. The titles are being withheld by the school districts... I think Canadians have a right to know what books are being banned in our public schools.
Today, Alberta's two biggest school divisions say dozens of books have been taken off shelves as the province's ban took effect this week.
34 titles were removed by the Edmonton Public School Division, and 44 were removed by the Calgary Board of Education:
