"Carol Grund nimbly weaves the threads of Anna Mei’s life into a story that is smoothly paced, quietly comforting, and pleasing to the soul. There are no heavy handed life lessons here... She manages to break down the chaos that is the tween years and gently instill little life lessons in manageable bits, just right for a satisfying read."

It may be April 1st but this is no April Fool's joke—starting today, my novel for ages 8-12 goes on sale! It's just been published by Pauline Kids, an imprint of Pauline Books & Media.
Anna Mei, Cartoon Girl is a story for anyone who has ever worried about fitting in. Sixth-grader Anna Mei Anderson is not only the new kid at school—she's the new kid with a weird name, an adoptive family she doesn’t remotely resemble, and an unknown birth mother somewhere back in China. She figures she'd better get busy changing into someone a little less…unusual. It may not be honest but it seems a lot safer. Then a school project comes along that makes Anna Mei think about herself, her friends, her family—and that weird name of hers—in a whole new way.
Take a look at the promotional video, featuring cover art by Wayne Alfano:

I’m delighted that it's found a home at PBM, a publisher whose name is synonymous with wholesome, quality literature. It's part of their new line of middle grade novels featuring kids who face real world challenges as they struggle to stay true to their faith and values. Two sequels have already been scheduled for 2011.
