I am thrilled to announce that Scholastic Canada will publish my third novel, DAYS THAT END IN Y in February 2013.
Here are some things to look forward to: fireworks, Little League baseball games, old high school yearbooks, bicycle missions, doggie drama, a wedding, at least three major misunderstandings, and as always, a few surprises.
This will be the final book in the Clarissa and Benji series,* which is very bittersweet. I adore Clarissa and company and in many ways I feel like I could write about them forever. However, I consider the books to be a middle school arc and there was a clear end in sight (ie: high school). I am sad to let them go, but happy with where I left them. I hope readers will agree!
STAY TUNED for an exciting contest opportunity which may well bring you fame and fortune- or at the very least, some free books, a workshop with yours truly, and internet super-stardom. Intrigued? More info coming in early September! Teachers and librarians you will DEFINITELY want to check back!
In the meantime, look for the French edition of Love is a Four-Letter Word, entitled <A comme amour> this fall!
*If anyone can come up with a better series name, I am all ears. The Word Books? Clarissa Chronicles?

Huge congrats, Vikki!!! Bev
Thanks, Bev!
My daughter and I are so excited! We can’t wait to read this last book about Clarissa and Benji. Yay!!
Thanks so much, Laura! You have both been such big supporters from the beginning! Maybe we can do a giveaway on your blog?
Yes! We would love that. Is that through Scholastic or through you?
My daughter was thrilled to see she correctly predicted the background colour of the cover. Of course she also can’t wait to read it.
Haha! She is much more perceptive than I! I was thinking teal, although blue isn’t far off. And it’s such a NICE blue!
I can’t wait to read it Vikki! I read all your books and I loved them all!!
Thanks so much, Angie! I hope this one lives up to your standards!
How exciting! I am a HUGE fan of this series (and your writing), so: CANNOT WAIT! 🙂
Yay Vikki, yay! Imagine how they’re going to look together… Gorgeous! Congrats!
The students at Trudeau in St. Thomas will be so excited to hear the news about the new book. We also look forward to purchasing A comme Amour!!! Congratulations!
Thanks, Dawn! Hopefully this new book will take me back to your neck of the woods again 🙂
