I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to sit down with @triciaspringstubb.bsky.social to discuss her newest upper middle grade novel, How To Tell A True Story. It was an incredibly powerful, poignant story about family and the nature of truth and kindness and one I won't soon forget.

My young-teen novel, HOW TO TELL A TRUE STORY, publishes on April 1! BCCB's review quotes one of my favorite lines: "Truth is often as confusing as people, who could be good and bad, kind and selfish, brave and weak, familiar and changing, all rolled into one." Hope you'll give it a look! #EduSky

i once had a neighbor who kept her house so tidy, so orderly, I felt nervous taking off my coat, for fear I'd set it in the wrong place (no worries--she'd whisk it straight away).
