It was a delight to chat with Anna Rose Johnson about her new middle-grade novel, The Star That Always Stays. I read this book at the beginning of the summer, and it has remained a favorite read of the season. We talk about Anna Rose's inspiration for the book, a bit of the behind-the-scenes process, and many book recommendations. If you're a fan of Maude Hart Lovelace's writing, you will want to get your hands on a copy of The Star That Always Stays.
