P.S. Tell No One

Ages 9-14

A Winnipeg Free Press 2023 Summer Reading Club Selection, Ages 10-13

Move over Margaret, make way for Twix, Sunny, Hoops and MP!

Four grade seven students pour their hearts, questions, and most closely held secrets into a pass-around-diary (the PAD for short) in this frank, funny and honest middle grade novel about what it means to truly be in the weeds of adolescence. P.S. Tell No One picks up the conversation started over 50 years ago in Are You There, God? It’s Me Margaret. Full of humour, nitty-gritty facts, and real talk, P.S. Tell No One is the kind of book kids will pass on to each other and say, “You HAVE to read this!”

What People Are Saying

“I am OBSESSED with Vikki VanSickle’s new middle grade novel P.S.Tell No One. There are few authors that can transport me back to my childhood and allow me to live in that weird and wonderful time like Vikki can. P.S. Tell No One is a book EVERY person ages 12 to 15 should have at their disposal, especially those that do or eventually will menstruate.”

Storytime with Stephanie

“Funny, frank, and true-to-life, this novel will have young readers wishing that they were friends with this foursome. P.S. Tell No One is a must-read for middle-graders.”

— 5 Stars, Rachel Siegal, CM: Canadian Review of Materials Magazine

“With refreshing candor, quick-witted quips, and solid information, the author has created a support network every tween needs. Vikki VanSickle really is the Judy Blume of Canadian children’s lit today.
