My middle grade novel, Taffy Nackman’s Guide on How to be a Star, is now live on Amazon!
This story started out in my imagination years ago with a quirky twelve-year-old girl’s voice saying something like:
“Just so you know, I’m not a star.
I’ve never even met any real famous people in my entire twelve years of life.
Although, last month I caught a glimpse of that girl from all those oatmeal commercials. She was eating a pickle on a stick and checking out the prize-winning pigs. At least, I think it was her. It could have been Pebbly Thorderson’s cousin. I was high up on the Ferris wheel, so it was hard to tell.
But someday I’ll be even more famous than that oatmeal girl.“
And I wanted to find out more about her! So I started writing and illustrating this funny girl’s story.
In fifth grade I wrote a book called How to be a Star. As good as that one was, I’m hoping my new novel might be a step up from this one 🙂
