1. Martha and Charlotte go to Indonesia

I recently learned that an Indonesian publisher has purchased the reprint rights for my Martha and Charlotte books. The first two books in each series came out in 2011, and the rest of them are coming out this year, is my understanding. The website is a bit puzzling: the entry for “Mellissa Wiley” shows the three books above, but seemed to be missing Little House in the Highlands. Then I realized Boston Bay‘s cover was there twice, with different titles. Here’s Highlands, courtesy of Google Books:

My publisher says I’ll be receiving copies sometime soon. It’s awfully fun to see one’s work in a new language.

2. Martha, Charlotte, and Boys

I’m bumping up this question from the comments because I thought some of you might be able to answer more authoritatively (pun intended) than I.

Dani Joy asks,

“I recomend your books to parents with young girls but do you think my boys might like to read the books? I havenĀ“t thought they would but I haven’t read them yet either.”

The feedback I’ve gotten from parents, teachers, and, yes, boys!, over the years has been gratifyingly enthusiastic. I’ve been told there’s enough grit and adventure in the books that they appeal to young male readers as well as girls. But would some of you parents of boy-children out there care to share firsthand experiences with Dani? Be frank! It’s ok if your answer is ‘my boys thought they were too girly.’
