Superchum, the world's friendliest superhero has an entire design based on his gimmick. He's hairless and jaundiced, making him the living embodiment of a smiley face. His outfit is a riff on spidey and supes. His belt buckle is 2 hands clasping.

Currently reading The Sea in Winter by . Fell in love with the cover, and am now falling in love with the text.

(Admission: unless it's a rec, I pick books based on title and cover, and never read the back cover in advance.)

My book The Secret of Zoone has a character who's 11 (though I don't think we ended up explicitly stating that in the book). It's a fantasy that would fit that age group (I think).

Just popping in to to say hi! The cover reveal for PLAY LIKE A GIRL (9/27), a graphic memoir about when I played football in middle school, is happening *soon* 😀 It also has so much more than football—like ice-skating...and terrible makeovers!

Q4 https://t.co/FPEHdorT9h is now in its final chapter. I'll hopefully be done with it within a year. I initially wrote the story in 2013 so it's been a long time coming and I can't wait to share the ending.

Q2 I really like converging storylines, and plots that slowly reveal themselves. "Giant Robo" was a big influence for me, as its story is misleading, and full of unreliable narrators, with the real story only fully revealing itself in the final episode.

Q6 Love the way Kate DiCamillo explores friendship through Louissianna's Way Home, Raymie Nightgale, and Beverly, Right Here. Fresh and unexpected.

A2 I have a HUGE love for novels in verse. They often make reading feel more accessible to my students. It was hard to narrow down my answer. These should not be missed.
