LEMONADE MOUTH ACROSS AMERICA! is one family's audacious attempt to make a writer's dream come true with a road-trip adventure and a shoestring budget. It's a summer-long, 26-city, 9,000 mile book tour across the USA and back--two adults, three small children and a pile of books all crammed into a rusty minivan!

My name is Mark Peter Hughes and I am an author. My new young-adult novel, Lemonade Mouth is a Top 10 BookSense Pick and has been nominated as a 2008 ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers. I am the Wallpaper, my first novel, was a 2006 New York Public Library Best Book for the Teen Age, a BookSense Summer Pick, and a finalist in the Delacorte Press Young Adult Novel Competition.
