Ever since twelve-year-old foodie and aspiring restaurant critic Gladys Gatsby burst onto the literary scene in her debut, ALL FOUR STARS, we have all been her hopeless, helpless fans. We have been delighted to follow Gladys's further adventures in her sequels, THE STARS OF SUMMER, and the rapidly approaching final installment, STARS SO SWEET (on shelves July 19th! mark those calendars!).
But now, author extraordinaire Tara Dairman is forging out to blaze some entirely new trails, as can be seen in her thrilling new book deal announcement:

Tara Dairman's THE GREAT HIBERNATION OF ST. POLONIUS-ON-THE-FJORD, about an isolated community and the chaos and comic adventures that take place after the traditional tasting of the Sacred Bear Liver goes horribly awry, to Wendy Lamb at Wendy Lamb Books

Isolated community? Sacred bear liver tasting? All the adults in town falling into a mysterious comatose sleep, leaving the kids to keep everything running? Look out for fall 2017, folks! This is one read you do not want to miss.

Huge congrats, Tara!
