Kids

Amber Brown series

The AMBER BROWN series follows Amber through elementary school and big life events that many young readers have experienced: a best friend moving away, feeling overwhelmed at school, being scared to make new friends, and much more.

Zoey and Sassafras series

Each story in the Zoey and Sassafras series features a new magical animal with a problem that must be solved using science. There isn't a set formula for each book; Zoey sometimes needs to run experiments, while other times she needs to investigate a mystery, and yet other times she needs to do research.
