Wow, SERPENT ON THE MOUNTAIN by @jkasperkramer.bsky.social is a fantastic read. I found it unputdownable. Big questions, relatable emotions, & historical info in Author's Note about snake handling in churches. Striking cover art by Becca Stadtlander.

T.C. Kemper, author of The Ginghams, returned to her former middle school to speak to a crowd of nearly 800 students!

She broke down the writing and publishing process, and noted that kids (weird ones included) from anywhere can achieve dreams. Thanks, @tckemperwrites.bsky.social
