About Devine Intervention

"Frequently hysterical ... devastatingly honest writing that surprises with its occasional beauty and hits home with the keenness of its insight." 

—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

 

"So much fun... an insightful story about seizing life for all it’s worth while you have the chance."

—Publishers Weekly


"It is a pleasure to read a writer who so delights in language, and who writes so captivatingly in a teen voice with such imaginative description."

— Los Angeles Times

“This is a love story. Not a romantic love story, but a story of the development of a deep caring relationship with another being. Humorous and sad at times, it brings us to ask ourselves what we think about heaven and how we get there. Believable and fast-paced, it keeps us reading to the end.”

— Library Media Connection

Educational Jokes My Kids Rejected

DateFriday, August 17, 2012 at 03:31PM

It's almost time to start school again, and to get my kids in the mood, I made up a bunch of math jokes. They banished me from the room for it. Tell me ... was it deserved?

How do shapes get to school?

They ride the rhombus.

What's the hardest-working shape?

The triangle.

What's the most noble shape?

The circle.

Which shape is the most accident prone?

The rectangle.

I love these! Especially the rhombus. I sniff a new picture book manuscript somewhere in it! Go with it, Martha. You'll hit another home run.
