Callaghan Featured in Story Monsters Ink Ahead of MY BIG HEART-SHAPED FAIL Release

I’m really excited to share the fruits of my recent interview with Story Monsters LLC. It provides some nice insight into my upcoming book My Big Heart-Shaped Fail and delves into experiences and education shaped my current style – including a shout out to Ms. Peters (from Indian Hills High School), a favorite teacher, which is a reminder of the important role teachers play in the future of their students.

Frolic Interviews Cindy Callaghan to Ask Her About Her New Book

Aurora: What was your inspiration behind your most recent novel?
Cindy Callaghan: I write for tweens, or what I like to call “sweet teen.” That is, a book that hits the tween demographic with slightly more mature topics, done in a way that lacks edge. This is more challenging than it sounds, because many pre-teens are curious about “edge,” while parents, teachers, and librarians are looking for clean.
In Saltwater Secrets I wanted to tell an engaging, entertaining, and exciting tween story that would appeal to all those audiences.

Saltwater Secrets – a fine choice to bring to the beach

Stella and her Australian half sister, Josie, have always happily spent their summers together on the Jersey shore with their twice-divorced, shared dad.
This year things threaten to be different since Stella is fully embracing her almost–high school status but Josie lags behind, not quite so interested in boys, bonfires, and the hope for a kiss or two.
