Books

A selection of books I’ve either written, or that include my nonfiction. Breakfast on Mars has several short-form pieces, and The Magazine: The Book has several long-form pieces. Someday I’ll get around to collecting it all somewhere else, but it could be a while.

Note: if you want a signed copy, I have stock of all of these, generally in both hardcover and paperback. Contact me for details.

Cover of Breakfast on Mars (paperback edition). It's a cartoon robot, blasting lasers from its eyes, holding a partially-eaten donut in one clay. Text reads: Essays like you've never seen before—Funny! Smart! Inspiring! And best of all, written by your favorite authors!

Breakfast on Mars

A book of essays aimed at middle school readers. I wrote the title essay, plus a rebuttal (point/counterpoint!), and there is a bunch of other good stuff in here. This one earned a Kirkus starred review!

Several of my nonfiction profiles/longform pieces are published here. This one is getting hard to find. I have a few copies kicking around if you can’t find it elsewhere.

Cover for The Magazine: The Book. It shows a ladybug taking flight from a stalk of grass, with fancy lettering reading: The Magazine. Below that, The Complete Archives.

The Magazine: The Complete Archives

This is digital only, but contains a ton of profiles I wrote for The Magazine way back when. I think I have eight stories in here that have not been collected elsewhere.
