School libraries are magical places! I think half the reason I’m an author today is because of how much time I spent in my middle school library. Since they’re set in the same universe, I actually included a little easter egg in Wrong Way Summer for fans of Rules. And Rules of the Ruff is my first solo book, about a 12-year-old girl who gets caught in a feud between rival dog walkers, inspired by my own time working as a dog walker. They follow the youngest master chef in the land as she struggles to run a restaurant specializing in “monster” cuisine-things like kraken calamari and full-course dragon feasts-while also dealing with the elven mafia, a group of up-and-coming steampunk scientists, and an obnoxious rival chef, among other problems. I wrote the Mystic Cooking Chronicles (A Dash of Dragon, A Hint of Hydra, and A Pinch of Phoenix) with my sister, Kati Bartkowski. Rules of the Ruff, A Dash of Dragon, A Hint of Hydra, and A Pinch of Phoenix are all my previous books. Synopsis It looks like we dont have a Synopsis for this title yet.

Palacio, author of Wonder An honest, emotionally rich take on disability, family, and growing up. Tales of troll kings and queens, of buried spaceships, and revenge-driven frogs. A big-hearted story that’s as sweet as it is awesome. And within these two stories are other, smaller stories. When a mentally retarded boy becomes lost in the mountains, his fourteen-year-old sister forgets her own teenage problems, and gains new insight into herself. Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast information. Create an analogy for today’s topic and an image. Write a letter to a family member or friend about the topic. Create vocabulary cards for the five most essential terms. But it also tells the story of Wrong Way Jacobus, Claire’s great-great-great grandfather-who may or may not have existed-and his own travels across the country just after the Gold Rush. Write four what if questions about the topic. Wrong Way Summer tells the story of a dad who decides to move his family into a van and travel across the country in the name of Grand Adventuring. But my favorite part of all is the frog, even though it breaks my heart a little, because he has his own story and it isn’t as lovely as the rest of this cover.
And I love that her brother Patrick is on the cover with her. Isabel’s illustration of Claire creating their path feels like a perfect way to show that. Throughout this book, Claire, the main character, begins to understand that sometimes the best way to tell something important is through a roundabout tale. Isabel Roxas’ cover illustration for Wrong Way Summer does a fantastic job of conveying the excitement, confusion, and adventure of a road trip, while also hinting at some of the major themes of the story.
