hits shelves

for middle grade readers

A madcap road trip featuring

a karaoke-loving grandma

and a wild summer of memories

that will last a lifetime.

"A perfect beach read."

or road trips of their own, will enjoy

When I Hit the Road."

Your Story Soup ... New Opportunity for Readers!

If you're looking for a little distraction for the kiddos -- yours or the ones you teach (or simply know) -- send them to Your Story Soup. 

It's sort of like the Stone Soup story...

Four authors -- Jody Feldman (from here at Smack Dab), EllenBooraem, Stacy Nyikos, and Barrie Summy -- are providing the pot and stone (story starters); readers bring the ingredients that go into the serialized story. Should be great fun!

The first segment goes up Monday, May 4, but the kiddos (and you) can take a look at the teaser right now.
