BOYS ARE DOGS THE MOVIE!

September 4, 2013 by Leslie

Hi Everyone!

Guess what?  Disney Channel is turning BOYS ARE DOGS into a movie starring the fabulous Zendaya.

Seriously!

Read all about it here:  BOYS ARE DOGS THE MOVIE!

Okay, they changed the title from BOYS ARE DOGS to ZAPPED, and the main character, Annabelle Stevens, is now known as Zoey Stevens, but the spirit of Annabelle and the original story is definitely still there.  I have read the script and it’s amazing.  You can see for yourselves in 2014.  I’ll get you the exact air dates as soon as I have them!

Also, SECRETS AT THE CHOCOLATE MANSION, the third Maggie Brooklyn Mystery is in stores now.  Check out the cool new cover:

Nice, huh?

Okay – I have some appearances in LA and Orange County later this month.  And I’ll be at Powerhouse on 8th in Brooklyn in late October.  More details on that soon!

 

xo,

Leslie

YAY! SLJ LOVES VANISHING ACTS!

December 20, 2011 by Leslie

Amateur detective and professional dog-walker Maggie Brooklyn Sinclair falls right into her next case as dogs in her neighborhood are mysteriously being egged while walking in the park. Meanwhile, a movie starring tween heartthrob Seth Ryan begins filming in her neighborhood and the seventh grader and her friends plan to be extras in it. While Maggie gets kicked off the set after just one day, she does manage to catch the star’s attention. She is overwhelmed as she begins noticing that her friend Lucy is suddenly spending a lot of time with her twin brother, Finn. At the same time, Maggie is dealing with her own romantic interest in her friend Milo. Before she can straighten out who is interested in whom, Seth disappears. The police think he has been kidnapped. Can Maggie crack the case of the dog-egger and find Seth Ryan as well? With likable characters and a fast-moving plot, this sequel to Girl’s Best Friend is sure to be a hit. Perfect for fans who are aging out of Judy Moody or Allie Finkle and mystery fans who enjoy Sammy Keyes. – School Library Journal
