Here’s the latest GEORGE the flybot news:

Book three in the chapter books series debuts July 8, 2025! And yes, I’m very happy and excited about seeing my little flybot journey to his next adventure, this time to the sweeping hills of Colorado’s Black Canyon to search for minted dimes from 1907. If he finds the dimes, they will go on display along with a traveling museum exhibition that will be featured in many parts of the world!

GEORGE wants to complete another successful mission and make his boss, Darcy Luna at Fly on the Wall Inc., happy for a job well-done, but as GEORGE befriends two organic bees, Tallulah Belle and Clancy, who cannot fly after dark, GEORGE discovers that his race to find the minted dimes is also a race against the setting sun.

And guess what? Book three can be preordered now! Yay!

To prepare for the summertime debut of book three, I designed and made little “Ask Me About GEORGE” buttons and T-shirts I can wear and share at the ALA (American Library Association) conference on June 26-29, in Philadelphia.

Aren’t they cute?

In other Georgie news: I was invited to be a speaker on Thursday, May 27th for the School Library Journal’s Day of Dialog spring conference. I’m very honored, and a little nervous too, but if anyone would like to attend the conference, it’s free and easy to sign-up, and I’d love to see you there!

And last but not least, book four is coming out this year too! This time, GEORGE’s mission takes him to Cocos Island, Costa Rica, where he’s looking for lost pirate’s treasure! Plus, on this mission, GEORGE might get into trouble with his boss, who knows about one of his past personal missions. Will she shut down his programming?

I just found out that book four can be preordered now too! It’s coming out October 7, 2025.

So, right now, that’s all the Georgie news I have. I just finished the final draft of book five, and my editors, Rachel, Kathy, and the team at PIP (Phoenix International Publication) Kids are working on getting me notes for book six.
