People Like Stars by @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social is a compelling multi-POV MG mystery exploring the themes of family, secrets and lies. As always with Patrice’s writing, the characters are so authentic, so real.

Rashmi Sirdeshpande @rashmiwriting.bsky.social · Dec 16

VERY excited to get my hands on BookTrust Writer in Residence Patrice Lawrence’s contemporary MG mystery People Like Stars. Secrets, intrigue, and important representation of children in care. Out 30 Jan!

There’s nowt Christmassy about my book, and yet here I am, promoting it at Christmas. I mean, it’s got trees in it - they’re not Christmas trees, but they do have secrets? If that helps?

Maybe you’re after a gothy, Hieronymus Bosch, Dante Alighieri, but make it 2006, sort of Christmas?

Maybe?
