Her second novel, THE YEAR OF SHADOWS, due out in Fall 2013 from Simon & Schuster BFYR, involves several ghosts, a girl obsessed with Death, and a rather irascible cat.

Her third novel, WINTERSPELL, due out in Fall 2014 from Simon & Schuster BFYR, is a young adult retelling of The Nutcracker, full of faeries, bloody swordfights, and forbidden romance.


This summer, every Monday and Wednesday, I am hosting a series of guest posts here on my blog, a series called Middle Grade Memories. In this series, authors, agents, librarians, and editors talk about their favorite childhood middle grade books. I’m beyond thrilled to share their middle grade memories with you.

So good to meet you, Kaye! And thank you for the kind words re: my books! I so hope you enjoy them!

Good luck with your librarian degree and your writing! *FIST BUMP OF LIBRARIAN POWAHHH*

P.S. I'm a fan of babbling, so never fear!

Kaye Wow, I didn't even realize you accepted the friendvite until now, so thank you and yay for the honor! :) I'm a MLS student hopeful + aspiring author, so you're inspiring me on both counts!

I am so excited for all three of your titles - just started the "pestering", in Wendy's words, by sending a request for The Cavendish Home just now.

Thanks again (and I hope I haven't scared you off with all my babble)...

You're so welcome! And thank YOU for the kind words regarding my books! I hope you pester away. ;)

P.S. Middle grade books just might be my favorite. No lie.


Wendy Darling Claire! Thanks so much for the friendvite. I somehow missed the announcement for your second and third titles--congratulations! I love the sound of them. Looks like S&S Kids is going to get pretty sick of me pestering them for Claire Legrand titles. ;)

Glad to be in touch here--it's great to snoop the shelves of friends who actually read *gasp* middle grade fiction.
