Fierce Voice

Iz has everything she's ever wanted: she’s found the foster home of her dreams and is attending the prestigious music school she moved heaven and earth to get into. But secrets from her past keep threatening to spill into the present, and Iz is sure that her newfound loved ones will abandon her if they learn of her terrible history.

Despite these fears, Iz does her best to settle into her new life. Hoping to give at-risk children the musical experiences she longed for when she was little, she joins with her classmates and Teo (the boy she sort of kissed and then ghosted all summer) to start a musical outreach program at the community centre she used to go to.

She isn’t quite prepared for the chaotic group of children she’s paired with. And she’s even less ready for Skye, an angry foster kid who challenges everything Iz holds dear, gets a little too close for comfort, and has her own terrible secret.

To help Skye, Iz must make a dreadful choice—a decision that could free them both from their demons or completely destroy everything Iz has fought so hard for. Is raising her voice worth the risk?

Fierce Voice is the sequel to the White Pine Award nominee Iz the Apocaylpse.

The Math Kids The Missing Cache

A missing boy, espionage, and simple machines are the perfect mix for the Math Kids…

In addition to being president of the math club, Catherine Duchesne is the second member of her school’s geocaching club. When she finds an email address in a hidden cache’s logbook in the woods, Catherine—and the rest of the Math Kids—are catapulted into a missing persons case.

The missing boy is the governor’s son, and the kids believe that if he was a geocacher, the woods might be the best place to look for signs of him. So Catherine, Stephanie, Justin, and Jordan set out on a high-stakes treasure hunt to retrace the missing boy’s path.

But when they come across a No Trespassing sign and an angry man in army gear, they soon find there could be more to this case than they expected. And the missing boy might not be the only one at risk!

Asha and Baz Meet Mary Anning

When their teacher assigns The Great Fossil Challenge, best friends Asha and Baz wonder how they’ll convincingly re-create a prehistoric fossil. Luckily time is on their side!

Together, they magically travel to 1823 to meet legendary fossil hunter Mary Anning, who shows them the marine fossil beds along the cliffs of the English Channel.

Ammonites, evidence of marine reptiles, and more wait just beneath the earth’s surface, and with Mary’s instructions, the kids might uncover the exact inspiration they need to succeed back at home!

Our Story

Common Deer Press seeks to expand the mind of readers through uncommon and exceptionally well-written literature.

At Common Deer Press, we believe that books are magical. Black ink on plain white paper can cause you to cry, laugh, sigh, get angry, anxious, nervous. Fall in love. Inspire wonder. They can transport you to far off lands---places you’ve never been to. Even other worlds. They can make you think seriously about things you’d never even considered before. Time travel exists, my friends. We do it every time we open a book. The teleport machine was invented centuries ago when the first caveperson made the first marks in the stone and someone else saw them and imagined something.

Our vision is to publish books that are so beautifully written they border on art. We strive to to be both publishing partners and a caring people to our community of authors. We are willing to take smart risks and think outside of the box--unless the box is the innovation. We will bring exceptional books to the reader via imaginative marketing efforts.
