One day closer to Ellie!

Today, the sun is out in Chicago. I see blue skies, feel a barely-there breeze. Spring has arrived! It means sandal weather is ahead. Ah, my toes can't wait to see the sun again!

Ellie Ultra

...coming Fall 2016 from Capstone Young Readers!

Ellie is just...WOW. She is illustrated by the extraordinarily talented Jessika von Innerebner. Check out Jess' awesomeness here: http://www.jessvoni.com/. I will show you Ellie ASAP, but I have to wait for the publisher's signal since there's a time and place for everything, including sneak peeks.

Here's what I can reveal about Ellie: She is your ordinary, average third-grade superhero who fights bad guys and saves the day while dealing with the ins and outs of being a kid.  Sure, it's tough busting super villains, but fitting in and making friends is equally hard. Can Ellie do it? I think so. She's a kid, and kids are SUPER!
