Hi friends, it's me Mark. I'm just dropping in to tell you about a virtual party brains on is having Saturday, July 29th

It's free and you're invited

Not only are we celebrating our 10th birthday, we're also super excited to share our newest book with you

It's called meet my micro pets. The book is a fact-filled

hilarious journey through the weird and wonderful world of microbes. I know I know you're thinking

But Mark, will there be cool games at this virtual party on July 29th?

I mean, yeah, only the coolest and before you ask

There will absolutely be epic stories and yes

Molly Sandin and I will be there answering as many questions as we can during the whole event
