As a kid, Lisa was known to write and draw on walls - with a black Crayon, of course. But it paid off. She's now the award-winning middle-grade author of Starfish and And Then, BOOM!

Hello, Hudson! And birdie!
Just finished the second of two author visits New York to talk about AND THEN, BOOM! Next, it's off to Boston for the National Council of Teachers of English! So grateful to God to have these opportunities.
Last 18 months have been hard. IYKYK.

I am blown away by students' responses to AND THEN, BOOM!, especially those moved to action. So many classes are now planning food or toiletry drives! And I never expected such demand for a sequel!
