Cover Reveal: VACATION FOR DEXTER!

Posted on by Rosemary Kiladitis

Readers!!! Kiddos!!! I have made no secret that I am probably Dexter T. Rexter’s biggest fan (except maybe for my own kid), so I am SO EXCITED to have gotten a sneak peek at the cover for Dexter’s newest adventure! Wanna see? You ready?

First, you have to sing the Dexter T. Rexter song. No, I’m not kidding. Come on:

DEXTER DINO,

STOMP THROUGH THE SWAMP!

DEXTER DINO,

CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!

 

Okay, now we’re ready. I present to you…

DEXTER’S GOING ON VACATION!!

 

Dexter T. Rexter is on a plane-for the very first time.

Dexter can’t wait to go on vacation with his best friend, Jack. Supercool orange sunglasses? Check. Nifty travel hat? Check. Plane tickets? Uh, what? Dexter may be the toughest, coolest dinosaur around, but everyone knows T. Rexes don’t fly! If anyone could do it, he could. It’s just that he’s suddenly feeling a little hot. And maybe a little nervous. But just as he starts to melt down, he notices Jack looks upset. Dexter realizes he has to be brave enough for both of them. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll start to have a bit of fun in the air.

Both nervous and funny, Dexter tells the readers what he’s feeling and even asks their advice as he comes to understand that being brave with a friend makes everything a little better. And hey, those cookies during the flight don’t hurt, either!

Vacation for Dexter is out on April 16, 2019! I know, I can’t wait, either!

YA Cover Reveal: Nora and Kettle by Lauren Nicolle Taylor!

Posted on by Rosemary Kiladitis
Nora & Kettle
Release Date: 02/29/16
Clean Teen Reads
Summary from Goodreads:
What if Peter Pan was a homeless kid  just trying to survive, and Wendy flew away for a really good reason?

Seventeen-year-old Kettle has had his share of adversity. As an orphaned Japanese- American struggling to make a life in the aftermath of an event in history not often referred to—the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and the removal of children from orphanages for having “one drop of Japanese blood in them”—things are finally looking up. He has his hideout in an abandoned subway tunnel, a job, and his gang of Lost Boys.

Desperate to run away, the world outside her oppressive brownstone calls to naïve, eighteen-year-old Nora—the privileged daughter of a controlling and violent civil rights lawyer who is building a compensation case for the interned Japanese Americans. But she is trapped, enduring abuse to protect her younger sister Frankie and wishing on the stars every night for things to change.

For months, they’ve lived side by side, their paths crossing yet never meeting.  But when Nora is nearly killed and her sister taken away, their worlds collide as Kettle, grief stricken at the loss of a friend, angrily pulls Nora from her window.

In her honeyed eyes, Kettle sees sadness and suffering. In his, Nora sees the chance to take to the window and fly away.

Set in 1953, NORA AND KETTLE explores
the collision of two teenagers facing extraordinary hardship. Their meeting is inevitable, devastating, and ultimately healing. Their stories, a collection of events, are each on their own harmless. But together, one after the other, they change the world.
