Preorders are *live* for ABOVE, NOT UP, our next book for teens—a mathematical fantasy!

Rosco Lockhart has never thought about the fourth dimension before.

Rosco plods through high school uninspired, but when he meets Tess, a being from the fourth dimension, his mind begins to open to the fantastical nature of ordinary things.

From untying impossible knots to defending against attackers to penetrating even the most secure safe, Tess invites Rosco to explore the possibilities of a world just abreast of our own—a world that is above, but not up.

Preorder today ahead of our November release: bandersnatchbooks.com/store/p/above-not-up

"For more than a year, and I would check in periodically and daydream about what this project could be. It grew a name—I’ve Got a Bad Case of Poetry—and a structure: six broad categories of poems, including Flora & Fauna, Unexplorable Depths, Cautionary Tales, Dreams & Whimsy, Edibles, and Humans."

S Donahue wrote in our newsletter about an exciting project we're launching in the new year—an illustrated children's poetry anthology.
