What's ENCORE EDIE About?

It's Edie Snow’s first year of high school and she’s already struggling to find a group of friends to fit in with. To make matters worse, her mom is making her walk her cousin Merry, who has Down Syndrome, home from school every day. Edie joins the school musical thinking it will solve her problems—she’ll meet new friends and get out of looking after Merry—only Edie isn’t sure she can pull off the play by the time the curtains open. Surprisingly, the person who saves the day is someone Edie couldn’t have even dreamed of.

What's ALL-SEASON EDIE About?

Eleven-year-old Edie Jasmine Snow has a "perfect" thirteen-year-old sister, two loving parents, and a cat named Dusty. She also has a grandmother she suspects is a witch and a grandfather who insists on calling her Albert. Framed by family summer vacations at the lake, All-Season Edie follows Edie through a tumultuous year in which her beloved grandfather becomes ill. In the face of family tragedy, Edie tries to practice witchcraft, learns to dance the flamenco, meets the Greek god Zeus doing his Christmas shopping at the mall, ruins the most important party of her sister's life and realizes that her family is both completely strange and absolutely normal.
