A sneak peek
My editor sent me two hot-off-the-press copies of My New Best Friend! It's so cool to feel the weight of the book in my hand and to see Jana Christy's excellent art on the end pages:
Here's the story description from the jacket flap:
Ida May and her new best friend, Stacey Merriweather, are two peas in a pod. And when they discover a magical mermaid night-light that seems to grant wishes, they start a secret club -- just the two of them. But before long, Ida suspects that Stacey is using the mermaid to tell some big lies. . . and to cause some big trouble at home. How will Ida set the record straight while still keeping her new best friend?
The mermaid night-light, with her spooky glowing grin, plays a big role in the story, so I've been bringing along the mermaid night-light that served as inspiration for the book to summer events. I put her inside a purple box so kids can see her glowing grin:
Wanna peek?
