Shiny new book deal

I am beyond excited to announce that my debut novel will be published in 2013 by Albert Whitman & Company. Here’s the blurb from Publisher’s Marketplace, making it official:

Sara Kocek’s debut PROMISE ME SOMETHING, in which a high school student is trusted with a secret by the most hated girl in the class and must either find the courage to be her friend or face a cascade of tragedy if she falls short, to Kelly Barrales-Saylor at Albert Whitman, by Logan Garrison at The Gernert Company (world English).
