Meet Twix the Rat!

The cover for Twix: A Rat’s Tale is here, and I could not be more excited to show it to you!

Twix is an anxious, nerdy young rat living in New York City with a list of things to be afraid of that’s longer than his tail, but his biggest fear is disappointing his older brother, Rolo. When Rolo is kidnapped, Twix embarks on a quest into the city’s underworld to find him – a shadowy place full of gangster raccoons, rat librarians with ninja moves, and one very gassy chihuahua.

The amazing Dave Mottram drew Twix, and he totally captured the fearfulness this little guy feels about setting off on his scary quest, mixed with the resoluteness he needs to see it through.

Twix is out April 6 from HarperCollins. Pre-order it wherever you buy books – and for a signed copy, my two wonderful local indies are taking orders: Oblong Books in Rhinebeck and Merritt Bookstore & Toystore in Millbrook, NY. Pre-orders are such a huge help in getting the word out, and I’m so grateful for every single one!
