The Reading Room
Lawn Boy by Gary Paulsen (Ages 9-12)

One day I was 12 years old and broke. Then Grandma gave me Grandpa's old riding lawnmower. I set out to mow some lawns. More people wanted me to mow their lawns. And more and more. . . .

Nanny Time
A Quick One ...

Hello from the U.K., where I'm traveling all over doing in-store book signings for Jo Frost's Confident Toddler Care and chat shows for the second season of Extreme Parental Guidance. 

Whilst I'm in the middle of this publicity work, this update will be brief, but I do hope to meet many of you at the book signings I'm doing. If you are able to make it, introduce yourself :) 

To keep updated on the EPG show (even if you're not able to watch), my team created a new page on the JoFrost.com site devoted to the show and I've included my behind-the-scenes photos and captions, so be sure to take a look at what we (families and crew included) were up to. I had a lot of fun putting that gallery together!
