What Ashlee is looking for

She gravitates toward high-concept, commercial fiction with bold storytelling, standout pacing, and a distinct voice that grabs you from the first page. A devoted kidlit reader, Ashlee has a soft spot for speculative stories, mysteries, and anything delightfully weird. When she begins building her own list, she’ll be looking for unforgettable picture books, chapter books, middle grade, and young adult fiction.
