Hello there! My latest young adult novel, THE BEST NIGHT OF YOUR (PATHETIC) LIFE is on sale now. This follows on the heels of DREAMLAND SOCIAL CLUB, which was picked by Kirkus Reviews as one of the Best Teen Books of 2012. In addition, you can find adorable repackaged Kindle versions of my first two young adult novels, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS and WHAT HAPPENS HERE, in the Kindle Store.Up next, a collaborative YA novel that I wrote with Sara Zarr. ROOMIES (Little Brown) will hit shelves in December! After that, my middle-grade novel debut, THE BATTLE OF DARCY LANE, comes out in May (from Running Press Kids).I'm right now writing the book that will follow that!
