We have some exciting news to share:

Ava the Monster Slayer: Sleepover Superheroes was selected as an Illinois Reads Pick for 2026!

In this latest story, Ava and her friends Emma and Ashley work together to face their fears and save their favorite stuffed animals—Piggy, Uni, and Raffe—from ghosts, monsters, and gnomes.

“Wow, what a powerful book written by Lisa Maggiore.”
