slj.com/story/eight-li… Very excited to be in such good company. Love what Rachel Mulligan of Delran Intermediate said about The One and Only Family. "My students enjoy the easy flow of Applegate's language." This is one of the reasons it is so comforting to read her books.

Very excited to be on The Yarn!

"If you’re a dog nobody wants, robot or real, you end up in Dogtown. If you’re a mouse, nobody ever wants you… so you’d better be good at hiding." 🐭🐶 Katherine Applegate & I have a new book in our Dogtown series! I can't wait to share MOUSE AND HIS DOG with you soon. MacKids Books

Thank You Beth Campbell. I am flattered that you have read so many of my books. Thank you for the kind words about Hank!

Thank you for including Dogtown in your dog day books.

"My name is Hank Hooperman, but my little sister calls me Pooperman. We are Hooperman and Pooperman, according to Boo. I'd like it to be Hooperman and Superman, but try telling that to Boo." (Behind the scenes: Last draft change. Finally saw Hooperman rhymes with Pooperman.)

Look at this adorable adoptable dogs!

I am among those suing the state of Florida to end the state's unconstitutional and deeply unamerican banning of books. The removal of my books (and so many others) from hundreds of libraries is a despicable attack on intellectual freedom in the U.S. cfpublic.org/education/2024…

Wow! So looking forward to visiting Maple Grove!

In 2nd grade we had to line up in height order. I was the shortest so first in line wherever we went. Getting to write from the pov of a mouse was easy for me. Katherine is tall, but she is oh so talented. She could write believably from the pov of a rock. I swear it.
