We wrote KARMA BITES for everyone who's ever hated middle school (like us) and yearned to change the status quo (again, us). From our work in film and television, we liked the idea of bringing the flavor of movies and tv shows like Lizzie McGuire (on which Stacy wrote), Wizards of Waverly Place and Mean Girls to a middle grade/younger YA novel.
Franny Flanders' karma couldn't be worse. Her best friends hate each other, her parents recently divorced and her crazy grandmother just moved in. Salvation arrives in the form of a magical box, containing recipes that can change Franny's world (real recipes). But Franny discovers that when you mess with the universe, it can bite back. Hard. Karma Bites is a wild ride. We can't wait for you to take a whirl.
