SCHOOL VISITS AND APPEARANCES If you've gone to the trouble of finding this page then I probably owe you a huge thank you! I'm honored that you'd consider having me visit your school or appear at your event. I absolutely love doing school visits when my schedule allows. For information on rates and availability, please contact Lisa McClatchy at Hyperion Books for Children. (School faculty members only, please.) For information about having me appear at your book festival or other event, please contact Deborah Bass at Hyperion Books for Children. (Event organizers only, please.) If you would like for me to visit a bookstore near you, then please believe me when I say I totally wish I could! Unfortunately, writing the books is pretty much a full-time job, so that doesn't leave me a lot of time for touring. If/when that changes, I'll notify everyone on my blog and in my newsletter and ask for tour recommendations then.
