Thank you so much for reading. I can’t remember where I first heard the name Cricket, but naming her definitely helped bring her into focus!

Thank you!
HEY LA! I’m doing this event on Tuesday the 24th! It’s gonna be fun - & there will be CUPCAKES FOR GOD’S SAKES.
The New York Times says yes. My middle grade series idea came to me on long strolls around my LA neighborhood (yes, sometimes we walk here!), so I have to agree. Have you found this to be true, too?

Sarah Dessen, #1 New York Times bestselling author, is hitting the road and going on tour to celebrate her 12th book, SAINT ANYTHING!
About Saint Anything
Peyton, Sydney’s charismatic older brother, has always been the star of the family, receiving the lion’s share of their parents’ attention and—lately—concern. When Peyton’s increasingly reckless behavior culminates in an accident, a drunk driving conviction, and a jail sentence, Sydney is cast adrift, searching for her place in the family and the world. When everyone else is so worried about Peyton, is she the only one concerned about the victim of the accident?
Enter the Chathams, a warm, chaotic family who run a pizza parlor, play bluegrass on weekends, and pitch in to care for their mother, who has multiple sclerosis. Here Sydney experiences unquestioning acceptance. And here she meets Mac, gentle, watchful, and protective, who makes Sydney feel seen, really seen, for the first time.
The uber-popular Sarah Dessen explores her signature themes of family, self-discovery, and change in her twelfth novel, sure to delight her legions of fans.
