If you are looking for a very sweet MG read, you should check Calvin and the Sugar Apples. Focusing on eleven-year-old Amelia and the loss of her best friend Calvin, a twenty-one-year-old chinchilla, this novel is beautifully written and illustrated.

This month I will be starting work on book 4 in Chris Horn's series, a set of chapter books for children featuring Alice the albino spider and her adventures in an abandoned bookshop (and beyond).

I have illustrated the covers and the interior art for the first three books, which have recently been collected into a special edition version as well.

Shown is book 1 in the series, where we meet Alice as she sets out on her adventures.

@roclaverton The Juana and Lucas and Anna Hibiscus series are favorites of mine. My kid loved the former from page 1; he took a little while to warm up to the latter (it is very earnest/wholesome, in a way that I think triggered his oppositional instincts), but now we’re about halfway through reading it together, and he’s been actively asking for more. 😁

@ferrous I never heard of , and I love that it’s a thing! Possibly of interest, fantasy genre, Kaela Rivera’s Cece Rios books — the main character has a “water soul” in a world that prizes fire, and struggles with her family’s/community’s perception of her differences as a “curse.” Also great in (on the cusp of /MG), Sara Pennypacker’s Clementine is a fabulously “weird” heroine. And in , definitely Cece Bell’s El Deafo.
