My editor just sent along the second review of BOYOLOGY and it’s fantastic! It ran today in the Publisher’s Weekly Children’s Bookshelf and I would have totally missed it if she hadn’t sent it to me.

If my date (and then boyfriend) would’ve called me angel I would’ve puked all over my burgundy dress. It was based on that Sarah McLachlan song, appropriately titled [...]
