love to you all!  

hiiii guys! i’m so excited to be able to finally share this news! writing this book was like penning a love letter to all my favorite childhood stories; it’s an overdue acknowledgment that, for me, middle-grade fiction is where the real magic began: in a secret garden; a wardrobe; a cupboard under the stairs. it’s the most fun i’ve ever had writing a novel, and i can’t wait to share it with everyone. and don’t worry — this doesn’t mean i’m done with young adult novels! there’s still so much...

You can finally complete your SHATTER ME paperback collection, because the IGNITE ME paperback hits shelves December 30, 2014!
