Hello, all!

We are so excited to publish The One and Only *Katherine Applegate*'s next
book, *Odder <https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250147424/odder> *(on sale
September 20), an absolutely delightful and moving novel in verse told from
the point of view of a very charismatic otter named Odder.

Katherine was inspired to write this book by the Monterey Bay Aquarium's
sea otter surrogacy program and is sure to motivate the next generation of
conservationists. We are hosting a *Make Waves with Odder
<https://www.mackidsschoolandlibrary.com/make-waves-with-odder/>* Coin
Drive this October and we'd love for you to consider participating and/or
spreading the word!

Participating schools will receive  materials to host a coin drive in their
schools. All participating schools will be entered for a chance to win a
visit with Katherine Applegate.

*You can find more information online here
<https://www.mackidsschoolandlibrary.com/make-waves-with-odder/>, including
steps to participate. You can register to receive more information here
