Coming soon — middle grade historical fantasy
A twelve-year-old autistic girl gets a history assignment about the Library of Alexandria. She already knows the library cat. She didn’t know the library cat was there.
Mia Vasquez has gone eleven days without opening her sketchbook, sits at a lunch table that stopped having room for her, and has a report due in two weeks. She knows where to go for a real story — the Bellwater Community Library, where a white cat with black tiger stripes has been in the reference section for as long as she can remember. What Mia doesn’t know is that Hazel talks. Or that she was in Alexandria for five hundred years. Or that she knew a girl named Thena, who taught herself three writing systems, found things in the ancient texts that no scholar had bothered to look for, and had nowhere to put what she found.
You’re on the list.
Thanks for signing up — more soon.
