In her own unique way she deals with the challenges of scratchy flower girl dresses, rambunctious cousins, and cows on the loose. Lauren’s Autism Spectrum Disorder means she sees the world differently from other kids. What makes her comfortable are her routines and coping mechanisms for her anxiety. So it’s no surprise that she flips her lid more than once. But while having an extended family seems like a lot of trouble at first, Lauren is about to learn how much they can care for one another.

Eleven-year-old Jake Reynolds wants to save seal pups from the talons of bald eagles, protect his little sister Sierra and confront the wolf he is sure stalks Hidalgo Island. But his best friend Emily calls him a chicken, comforts Sierra when she falls and doesn’t believe the wolf exists. Even as Jake hears howling in the night, part of him hopes Emily is right; he may dream of being a hero, but he is terrified by the thought of running into a wolf. When Jake leads Emily into the woods in search of adventure, he finds more than he bargained for—and discovers things about himself that he never knew existed.

Lauren, a third-grade student who has Autism Spectrum Disorder, takes on the challenges of sharing her best friend and persevering when a classmate mocks her bicycle’s training wheels. As if sharing Irma weren’t bad enough, Lauren also has an alarming new problem at school. Their teacher has announced a mountain biking day when the students will learn to ride their bikes on an obstacle course. But Lauren still uses training wheels. She just can’t face the teasing she will get when her classmates see them. She isn’t brave like Irma. She can’t go with the flow like Dad. How can she possibly face this challenge?

Multidimensional characters deals authentically with friendship issues. There is enough tension and action to keep readers engaged. I really liked how supportive the adults are and that even the troubled kid seems to find a redemption of sorts.

As a result my kids love going up the mountain and have made a game of counting all the machines they see. Each page has it's own special something going on that the kids love to hunt and find for themselves, not to mention what that cheeky Marmot gets up to. We also love her next book too, Sounds of the Ferry.—Sarah Jervis, Amazon 5 stars https://www.saraleach.com/warm-up daily 0.75 2021-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1614017455666-ETHNMPXSGRJZSTZOVG4J/Screen+Shot+2021-02-22+at+10.10.19+AM.png Warm Up "A fast-paced, enjoyable read that [will have] you simultaneously resenting Jasmine’s teammates as well as cheering for the team to come together. Demonstrating perseverance and sportsmanship, this is a great read for girls interested in dance." ― CM Magazine "Leach provides a compelling story of emotional growth while giving readers an authentic view of contemporary dance and competition...The smooth, graceful writing matches the subject nicely...The plot is heartily centered on learning social and emotional confidence, but Jasmine’s relationship with Will adds a nice fillip without detracting from the core message. As with most books from this publisher, its brevity never takes away from good storytelling. Dedicated dancers would appreciate this paired with Siena Cherson Siegel’s nonfiction graphic novel, To Dance (2006)." ― Booklist https://www.saraleach.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2021-01-06 https://www.saraleach.com/count-me-in daily 0.75 2021-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1613683444581-JFUIQVKB7RP3IXTAEFQL/Screen+Shot+2021-02-18+at+1.23.37+PM.png Count Me In - Winner of the Red Cedar Book Award "The characters and their motivations are well developed. The plot is simple, but entertaining, and the survival aspects of the story are realistic and suspenseful. Chapter transitions are smooth and easy to follow. Fans, including reluctant readers, of Gary Paulsen, Will Hobbs, and other writers of survival fiction will enjoy this book."—School Library Journal “Count Me In succeeds in every way. It is difficult to write a suspenseful story in clear language for young readers, but Leach has surmounted the obstacle, and the result is a story that is touching and powerful. Young readers (and older story lovers, too) will find this book too good to put down.

"A heart-pounding climax and a very satisfying resolution to his fears. Information about living in harmony with the environment is seamlessly incorporated. Introverted Jake is similar to Greg Heffley in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, but his struggles are developed in a much more serious vein." ― Booklist "Introduces concepts about friendship, family responsibility and conserving natural spaces. Author Leach examines each with sensitivity and age-appropriate language…Recommended." ― CM Magazine "An exciting novel for middle graders." ― BookLinx https://www.saraleach.com/press-kit daily 0.75 2021-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611349839499-KM55MQHT2TG4RLKTHO9C/Sara%2BLeach%2Bauthor%2Bthumbnail.jpg Press Kit Click the photo to download a hi-res image https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611349925229-MCCSUW03REVQMJ642V88/SlugDays_1000px.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611349982087-1FKRUJ60D8T4XQLAAFZR/PenguinDays_RGB_1000px.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611349996007-L5SIPZ4091SSPVZGZMY3/DuckDaysJLG_Website.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611350058154-5TGGDVFQTIBH5XAQ05X2/Count+Me+In+cover.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611350105903-8YAQZKW0LN14ZZJTATNY/Screen+Shot+2016-12-10+at+2.47.53+PM.png Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611350106810-0I0U75TM6Y8TJH681H81/Warm+Up+cover.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611350109903-CN1IVD67K549BVCLY6XU/Sounds-of-the-Ferry-Cover.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611350144007-ZH4LDGF6D2PD9X4XZQI3/MountainMachines-cover-000001.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1611350119427-9BL5XSU4I59MDKI0K5BH/Jake+R+cover.jpg Press Kit https://www.saraleach.com/penguin-days daily 0.75 2021-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baa6791b9144955b3990b55/1613151551270-S03SV7TNX91D4Q7QSVIP/Screen+Shot+2021-02-12+at+9.35.53+AM.png Penguin Days - A Bank Street Best Book “Another fine and enlightening peek into Lauren’s unique, often challenging world that displays her differences but highlights the needs she shares with all children: love, acceptance and friendship.” Kirkus Reviews “While she faces particular challenges, Lauren’s misadventures (dealing with loud relatives, letting calves out of their stall, throwing up on her flower girl dress) could have happened to any girl.
