Good News! GONE CAMPING: A Novel In Verse is on the way.

I'm happy to announce that Gone Camping: A Novel in Verse is a project that I'm currently working on with my editor at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books for Young Readers. Gone Camping will be a companion to Gone Fishing and will feature a story told through a series of poems with the same two main characters: Sam and Lucy. Gone Camping is not only a family camping adventure, but is also the story of how Lucy struggles to overcome her fear of sleeping in the tent and away from home. I'm thrilled that Gone Camping will be illustrated by Matthew Cordell, the talented illustrator who brought Sam and Lucy to life in Gone Fishing. Gone Camping is scheduled to arrive in the spring of 2017.
