When the war in Ukraine began, I had been writing a companion novel to Winterkill, but had to set it aside. I plunged in to a project I had been working on for a long time: a novel set in the 1500s. Then Scholastic asked me to pivot. It took a lot of soul-searching, but in the end I realized I had to do this. The emotional pain of researching and writing these three books is nothing compared to what Ukrainians are enduring every minute, every hour. I invite you to step into the shoes of 12 year old Dariia and her twin sister Rada. Feel what it&#8217;s like to wake up one morning to your bed shaking from bombings. To have your country invaded by a jealous neighbor who doesn&#8217;t acknowledge your right to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dealnews.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dealnews.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dealnews-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dealnews-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never thought I would be writing about a war as it&#8217;s happening.
