Cici Reno #MiddleSchoolMatchmaker releases today!

“Middle school is a test, but Cici Reno has all the answers. She's the go-to girl for advice. She's cool, she's funny, and she's enlightened (thanks to yoga classes at her mom's studio). So when her pretty BFF, Aggie, is too shy to speak to the boy she's crushing on, Cici goes online and does the talking for her. The only problem is, Cici starts to fall for the guy herself! For the first time in her life. she doesn't have a clue.”

“Interspersed with Twitter feeds and yoga poses, this clever twist on Cyrano de Bergerac will win over the hearts of middle-schoolers, particularly those feeling shy or awkward themselves, as well as reluctant readers.” –Booklist

“A surprisingly successful, suspenseful, and engrossing take on the Cyrano story with a contemporary twist.”—Kirkus

Three Months Until Cici Reno #MiddleSchoolMatchmaker Release!

In just three short months the first Cici Reno book will be out! The first review from Kirkus came in and it's awesome! They said,

"Told with a female protagonist, Springer’s shrewd update of the Cyrano de Bergerac story uses it as the perfect prism for middle school girls, demonstrating how hitting puberty at different times can affect social status, love relationships, and friendship."

"For a light, rather humorous novel, it’s a surprisingly potent theme, and it also brings up an interesting point: how these bodily changes are hard on the girls who develop early as well as on the ones who develop later."

"A surprisingly successful, suspenseful, and engrossing take on the Cyrano story with a contemporary twist."

Cici Reno also made her debut at ALA Midwinter in Boston this past weekend. The book was mentioned at the #ReadNRave and here in the Midwinter Read 'n Rave Report.

And Sterling gave away so many advanced copies at their booth! Too cool!

Spring 2016 Sneak Previews

It's coming!! Spring 2016 Sneak Previews...

Exciting Book News!

I'm sooooooooooo excited to share some GREAT news! I sold a new book!

From Publisher's Weekly:

Brett Duquette at Sterling Children's Books has acquired Cici Reno Knows it All, first in the middle-grade Yoga Girls series by Kristina Springer. It follows a pre-teen yoga enthusiast who helps her best friend get a crush's attention by impersonating her on Twitter, but a friendly favor turns into a social media love triangle. Publication is slated for spring 2016; Andrea Somberg at Harvey Klinger negotiated the deal for world rights.

I love this book so much!! Middle grade readers are the best and ever since writing My Fake Boyfriend is Better than Yours I'd been itching to get back to this wonderful age group. And a series!! I can't believe I'll get to stay in Cici's world longer and write about this kick-butt yoga loving kid.

Many thanks to my wonderful agent Andrea and my new editor Brett! Sterling Children's is a phenomenal publisher and I can't wait to work with them!
