Secrets

The theme of secrets feels very relatable for middle graders, but I'm curious if there was a specific experience or message that motivated this focus.

There were times I laughed out loud but also moments that made me feel really heartfelt — was that intentional or just how the story evolved?

The setting feels cozy and vibrant, almost like a character itself. I wonder if it was inspired by a real place or crafted from the author's imagination.
