GEO’S FORTUNE
May 2025
At long last, Geo’s Fortune is here! In audio and everything!
Here’s an article I wrote for School Library Journal’s Teen Toolbox: How To Spot Talent by Amy B. Mucha
And not only that, but Geo’s huge companion website, The Rock Readers, has officially launched!
Whew, what a month! 🎉
Reviews
“A fascinating, strongly paced story that will hold equal appeal for those who love facts and those who believe in the otherworldly…. A glimmering, mind-expanding story of friendship, science, and magic.” — Kirkus Reviews
“GEO’S FORTUNE is one of those rare and special books where the characters feel so incredibly real that you’ll think they’re your in-real-life friends. It’s sweet, clever, and brilliantly written! A truly excellent book!” — Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author
“I love it when a book introduces a new kind of magic I’ve never seen before. Geo may not always make the best choices as she navigates her new gift, but that’s what makes her real. Rock Magic rocks!” — Wendy Mass, New York Times best selling author of The Candymakers
