November KidLitWriMo begins Saturday

The October Writing Challenge ends this week, but the KidLitWriMo writers want to keep going . . . so we will. If you can write 30 minutes everyday for 30 days, you will have spent 15 hours writing your book! That’s what we did in October 2025.

If you only write on the weekdays (or are traveling for the holidays) use the 20 day schedule instead.

If you write *30* minutes a day for *20* days that adds up to *10* hours of writing. (It also helps you keep your story alive during a busy time of year.) Small steps make a difference.

Synclaire Fields Knows the Score

The Kids in Mrs. Z’s Class: Synclaire Fields Knows the Score
by Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich (Author) and Kat Fajardo (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: Synclaire Fields is the Math Kid in Mrs. Z’s class, getting perfect marks on every quiz and helping her classmates master tricky concepts. She especially loves demonstrating her skills at her parents’ store after school. Then she gets TWO ANSWERS WRONG on a math test, and … How can she be the Math Kid if she isn’t good at math anymore?

So Synclaire embarks on a quest to figure out what’s next. Maybe she’ll be a piano prodigy? A board-games whiz? A skating star? She likes some of these hobbies, but there’s one constant with every role: She seems to come back to math. Maybe, with the help of her friends in Mrs. Z’s class, she can still be the Math Kid after all?

Snippet:

The author, Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, is one of my former students.
