The Stars of Summer by Tara Dairman6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Once I got to know the main character of Gladys, I definitely wanted to see her story continue. ![]() I don’t think I had a sequel idea right at the beginning, but I definitely did by the end. You know, I started working on ALL FOUR STARS so long ago (in 2005!) that it’s hard to remember. ![]() When you started working on your first book, All Four Stars, did you always have a sequel planned out? Was it always going to involve summer camp?

I also really enjoyed that there was lots of cross-generational relationships - teenagers, parents, grandparents - because sometimes YA feels like a bizarre teen-only world. It never took me out of the story, it made it feel more grounded and real. I've made a video all about this, but I'm really irked by teenager representation that doesn't involve the internet or cellphones. I also, and I cannot emphasize this enough, loved Nina LaCour's use of technology. I like that things like being coloured or queer were present but not plot devices. I loved that it took place in winter, on an abandoned university campus, where everything amplified Marin's feelings of emptiness and isolation. This is a book about relationships and emotions and I liked being caught up in Marin's brain. What I really appreciated was that Nina LaCour abandoned the idea that a novel has to be entirely plot driven. Which is a pretty big thing to say, I suppose. This is the kind of book I want to write. ![]() The kindly ones gaiman6/6/2023 ![]() You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel.
