Flying High

I'm happy to report that Sue Zeidler's second YA novel, Flying Through Music, received a wonderful review from Kirkus Indie! Here's a little of what they had to say:

"A girl morphs to an alternate musical universe to save her friend in Zeidler’s (The Practice Room, 2009) mystery for young teens...The premise is original...young readers with an interest in music will relish the trivia and lessons embedded in this story. Zoey develops as a musician while grappling with typical teen issues—her relationship with her father, a crush on a cute older boy, self-awareness."

Congratulations, Sue. It was a pleasure working on this book!

YA Success Story

Roger and I have been working together for almost seven months to perfect a draft of his YA novel, WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME. He called today to tell me he's landed an agent--at Andrea Brown! I'm thrilled. Roger, may the book sell faster than Thin Mints.
