Raucous Royals is a history book for middle grade kids–Amazon has it listed as being for four through eight-year-olds, but I’m sure they mean it’s for fourth through eighth graders.
I loved this book, and I’m looking forward to seeing what others have to [...]

The wrap up for This is the Feast is as follows:

How cool was that?

So on the third day of the Something Wicked Blog Tour, the book did make it to number one on Technorati’s popular books page. (Click here for a full page view) That’s not bad for such a small tour as we did.
On day two, it was at number twelve when I checked and Something Rotten [...]

Oh yeah! Something Wicked has knocked Hot Chicks With Douchebags out of the number one slot at Technorati. Now that’s exciting. (I hate even typing that title. What a yucky thing–to call young women hot chicks and young men douchebags. How demeaning.)
