In Spring 2026, Dutton/Penguin will publish Susie Kramer Nadler’s debut young adult novel, Lies We Tell About the Stars, in which 17-year-old Celeste searches for her best friend in the aftermath of a catastrophic San Francisco earthquake. Celeste becomes increasingly convinced that he’s still alive but has chosen to disappear. Meanwhile, the rest of the nation distracts itself from the disaster by obsessing over the first human mission to Mars. Susie sold the novel in a two-book deal, so she’ll also be publishing another YA book! She works as a school librarian and lives in San Francisco with Saul Nadler and their teenage twins.
