What’s Up?
Hi! Bart King here. I write high-interest books for younger readers and immature adults. My new book is Time Travel Inn 2 from Choose Your Own Adventure. It continues the thrilling and hilarious quest of Astrid, a kid who’s moved to a new home and finds that it’s a portal for journeys across time, space, and cute little duck ponds.
“Mind-blowing adventure and heart-stopping thills!” —Jeff Kinney (author, Diary of a Wimpy Kid) on Time Travel Inn.
Disney-Hyperion published my funny novel, The Drake Equation. It’s a wacky adventure about Noah, a young birdwatcher who wants to save his school from danger — but ends up possibly destroying the world. More information on the book here!
“The Drake Equation has a lot going for it. There’s an immensely likable protagonist and his marvelous twin friends, a school life that feels true … and a mystery that really engages the reader. Bart King tosses a lot of balls in the air, keeping the twists fast and furious, but thankfully, while Noah is suitably overwhelmed, the reader isn’t.” —San Francisco Review of Books
I am on Threads, Facebook, GoodReads, Bluesky, Instagram, and reluctantly, Twitter.
