Booked All Night

I’m a New York Times bestselling author. My most popular books are MINECRAFT: THE CRASH, which has been translated into several languages, and The Jumbies Trilogy, a horror-tinged series that draws on Trinidadian folklore and mythology. I also write nonfiction and historical books such as AFRICAN ICONS: TEN PEOPLE WHO SHAPED HISTORY and BECAUSE CLAUDETTE. My books have received starred reviews from School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus and have been named in best books of the year roundups for NPR, Kirkus, School Library Journal, Publisher’s Weekly, the New York Public Library, Brightly, We Need Diverse Books, and Bank Street. They have also been on shortlists for several awards such as the Jane Adams Children’s Book Award, the Massachusetts Book Award, and the Texas Topaz Reading List with a unanimous recommendation. My debut novel, ANGEL’S GRACE, was named a Kansas NEA Reading Circle List Junior Title.
