Who would want to have tea with mushrooms, when it's a hundred degrees and humid outside? As Shelby and Shauna Kitt find out, quite a few people. These are, of course, people from Miriax, a planet in a different dimension where nothing and no one is anything like what the thirteen-year-old brother and sister twins expect. On Miriax, lilac tea is served with explosive mushrooms, agitex leaves cure motion sickness, stick insects patrol the jungle, and library books carefully choose their readers, refusing to leave the shelf for anyone else. And, if they're not careful, the walls spit on them.
Shelby and Shauna's lives change drastically when planet Miriax recruits them to seal a dimensional hole that allows Klodians - nasty aliens - to travel to Earth. In order to succeed in their mission, Shelby and Shauna discover skills they never thought they possessed, make friends they never expected to have, and face enemies they never imagined existed.
[For ages 11+, and advanced younger readers. Family-friendly.]

SEPTEMBER: HELP ANIMAL RESCUE WHEN YOU BUY A COPY!
If you were thinking of getting a copy of Shelby and Shauna Kitt and the Dimensional Holes, now is the time! I will donate 100% of the sale proceeds to the Misha May Foundation, a wonderful organization whose mission is to "rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs (and cats) at risk, regardless of breed or mix, behavior or medical issue." The Misha May Foundation fosters rescued animals for as long as necessary for them to find homes. I have seen first-hand their work, and I am honored to be able to help their mission in some way.
So tell your friends, buy copies, and help animals!
