Roland Antrim asked Rae Lowery:

Why is your latest book so much darker than the previous ones?

Rae Lowery I had started writing novels so my kids had something to read, more or less. As they got older, they were reading things that were much darker, and they requested that I write something more appropriate for older teens, but not full of swearing or sex (not that I would have done that anyway, but still) so I took elements from books I enjoy and combined them into a book that kids could read but adults could also enjoy it.
