Wow! Thanks, y'all, for Tweeting so much about my new book, RED MENACE, to be pub'd next week! Please check out the trailer: youtu.be/tfU2XI0yz94

This description is not about my book. Please remove it.

So, guess what. I gave you all the link for an older version of the trailer for RED MENACE. Here's the new, improved one. Please give it a look! youtu.be/KmS4thSw4F0

You must read this Q&A interview Deborah Kalb did with author, Jeffrey Michael Ruby. deborahkalbbooks.blogspot.com/2020/08/q-with… Okay, he mentions his mother, but otherwise, it's pure gold about his book, PENELOPE MARCH IS MELTING and his eclectic reading taste.

Now that school's in session (one way or another), please think about sharing RED MENACE with your students in 5th grade and up. Email me for details on how to use this story set in 1953 during the McCarthy communist witch hunt and the Mickey Mantle baseball glory days.

I so much enjoyed your eighth graders yesterday. Thanks for giving me the hour with them, Ms. Sutton!

Oh, how I wish you could own those letters, Jonathan.

Just ordered THE SECRET LIFE OF KITTY GRANGER from bookshop.org. It's out of stock now, but worth waiting for!

Looking forward to a virtual visit with 5th graders at Blanding Elem (Effingham, GA school district) on March 16. Thanks, Ms. Gililland! Anyone else want an author visit?

Always delighted when someone mentions my book online, but this? "Steal Away Home Lois Ruby. As recognized, adventure as with ease as experience about lesson, amusement, as capably as deal can be gotten by." Wha??? ...

Congratulations to the conscientious people at Carolrhoda/Lerner Books for the Boston Globe Horn Book 2021 honor award! The extraordinary book is Unspeakable; the Tulsa Race Massacre, by Carole Boston Weatherford, illustrated by Floyd Cooper.
