When Nora Thorne’s parents uproot her family to take over a ramshackle pumpkin patch where the previous owners’ daughter went missing, Nora must unearth the truth about the girl’s disappearance if she’s going to convince her folks to leave Middle of Nowhere, KS. For good. #QuestPit #MG #Q

My lyrical, whimsical entry is officially IN. Good luck today, creatives! #PBParty #writingcommunity #kidlit #amwriting

When a 12yo and her nontraditional family land in rural TX, she must find a way to save the only friend she’s made over the drought-plagued summer: the abandoned horse down the road. Even if it means breaking the law. FREYA is Moo X Haven Jacobs Saves the Planet in verse. #MG #P2Ppit #Q #CLI #MH

Hiking deep into the river woods, a child must confront the challenges of foraging if she wants to locate the elusive morel mushroom before its fleeting life cycle ends. TREASURES OF THE WOODS revives the timeless themes of Owl Moon & Watercress in lyrical prose. #P2Ppit #PB #STEM #Q
