Mary Strand SWEARS that she still writes YA novels, but she recently took a stroll on the younger side with her very first children's novel. SKATE FEARLESS released on August 1, 2024. Published by Stone Arch Books, an imprint of Capstone, it’s published under their Jake Maddox JV line. (Mary's name isn’t on the cover, but it’s on the title page.)

SKATE FEARLESS tells the story of a 12-year-old girl, PJ, who’s been skateboarding all her life but suddenly finds herself dealing with bullies who think girls can’t skate. It's available on a wide range of platforms, but if you're interested, it's easiest to check out Mary's website.
