Other books include The Iciest Diciest Scariest Sled Ride Ever!, a picture book, illustrated by Jennifer Thermes;  Headin’ for the Rhubarb, A NH Dictionary (well, kinda); and The  Best Revenge, named one of five essential NH Books by NH Magazine and Outstanding Work of Fiction by the NH Writers Project.  Her most recent book is That Reminds Me of a FUNNY Story.

Adi Rule is the author of the middle grade novel Hearts of Ice (Scholastic) and young adult novels The Hidden Twin and Strange Sweet Song, which won the 2016 NH Writers Project literary award for Outstanding Young Adult Book as well as the Vermont College of Fine Arts Houghton Mifflin/Clarion Prize (St Martin’s Press). Adi has led workshops throughout New England for groups that include 826 Boston, the VCFA Young Writers Network, and the NH Writers Project.
