Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the news section. This is the section I will try to keep updated with information about what is coming out next and when and where I might be making an appearance. So here goes...

The Things a Brother Knows, my newest novel, is the story of Levi, who's been waiting three years for his older brother, Boaz, to return from his tour of duty.

I am honored to announce that The Things a Brother Knows received the Sydney Taylor Book Award and the California Book Award. It has received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and School Library Journal, and it was named to multiple Best Books of the Year lists for 2010. Learn more about the book.

My fifth novel will be released in 2011. It's called The Summer I Learned to Fly and I'm really excited about it. It's about a girl who hangs out at her mom's cheese store and the boy who collects the day-old bread from the alley. It's about what happens when they find each other. It's about taking risks, embracing life, and searching for miracles. Learn more about the book.

Oh, you wanted some more news? Hmmm...

There's never all that much news to report in the life of a writer. A typical newsflash might look something like this: Today I woke up too early, got the kids off to school, and sat down and managed to bang out a few sentences before noticing that it was afternoon and I was still in my pajamas.

This is one of the reasons I don't blog. I can't imagine my life is anymore interesting than yours. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not.
