RESOURCES
This is Atlantic Beach Elementary, where I first fell in love with school. I'm from a family of teachers and want to give you all you need to incorporate my books into your classrooms, libraries or homes. Here are some activities, suggestions, curriculum guides, and a role playing mystery game you can play. A huge shout out to Simon & Schuster who has gone all in on helping create Educator Case Files and the Classroom Digitial Dossier.

Ultimate Spy Panel
My good friend Stuart Gibbs (author of the Spy School books) and I had a great discussion with two retired CIA spies! We talked about the difference between espionage on the page and in real life.
Writing Workshop Podcast
I made this limited edition writing podcast with five amazing writers who also happen to be good friends. Each addresses a single writing topic and is between 20-25 minutes to make it well-suited for classroom or library use.
Host a Mystery at School
I've written a mystery that takes place in your school library! A spy has been posing as a substitute teacher and smuggling secrets in library books. Now your students have to solve the case and discover who among them has been helping him out. It's an all-new way to get students to investigate your media center. All you have to do is download the two files below and you'll have everything you need. (Average time to play the mystery game is 40-45 minutes.)
