If you love fun, light-hearted stories with a sweet character and a feel-good message, this is a great book for for you, no matter your age.
"A lighthearted and entertaining play on the title’s double meaning.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Humorous and heartfelt, The Worst Villain Ever is a novel in which a boy learns a compelling lesson about accepting himself as he is.” – Foreword Reviews
Any villain worth his lockpick will tell you it’s bad to be good, but George can’t quite hide his horrifying niceness. To improve his class ranking in villain school, he accepts an impossible assignment to defeat the greatest superhero ever...who has a big problem of his own.

About the book:
Parker can sense strong emotions in others. And the new girl, Mia, is super sad—and secretive. When a pre-cognitive buddy says Mia's pain will lead to their discovery by dangerous people, Parker tries to help Mia. That’s harder than expected, especially when Parker’s gift backfires in a big way.

A spooky middle grade story, perfect for Halloween
To help her mother’s floundering ghost tour company, 11-year-old Greta tries to stir up the ghosts she senses in their new multi-family Victorian home. But when she accidentally invites a bigger, scarier haunting than expected, she must team up with a skeptical friend to stop the ghoulish disturbances that have spun out of control. For middle grade fans of creepy stories such as Small Spaces, Spirit Hunters, and the Girl in White.
I have some exciting news to share about my upcoming middle grade supervillain story, The Worst Villain Ever! First, reviews are starting to roll in. I'm delighted that Kirkus Reviews described The Worst Villain Ever as: A lighthearted and entertaining play on the title's double meaning." |

About the book:
When eleven-year-old George Pruwell is finally admitted to the Academy of Villainy and Wrongdoing, he has big plans of making his family proud, especially his older brother Alex. Unfortunately, unlike his brother, George is anything but villainous. To secure a slot in the school's best class roster and prove himself worthy of his family's wonderfully wicked name, he takes on a nearly impossible assignment: defeat Captain Perfectus, the world's greatest superhero.
Now, George has to figure out how one too-nice-villain-in-training can defeat the most impressive superhero of all time. Alex offers his help, but George isn’t so sure he wants to use his big brother's methods. And when Captain Perfectus turns out to have some seriously big problems of his own, George must choose whether to follow his instincts and help the superhero or crush him and become the most villainous Pruwell ever.
