Deal Announcement: Simon & Schuster acquires debut middle grade novel by Sarah Lariviere, The Bad Kid



I’m so pleased to announce that Kristin Ostby at Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers has acquired Sarah Lariviere’s debut novel, THE BAD KID, in a pre-empt!  The Bad Kid is a mystery-comedy, set in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, starring Claudeline LeBernardin, who reads like a modern-day Harriet the Spy.  I love this book for its original voice, screwball humor, and for its salty with a heart-of-gold main character, Claude, and am so happy that it found a home with Kristin at S&S!
