Can you tell us anything about your next book?

Ruta Sepetys Hi Elise!

My new book is set in Spain during the 1950's and reveals unknown history related to the Spanish dictator, Francisco Franco. I'm hard at work researching it! :)

Hola Ruta! I have read twice Between shades of gray (In Spanish: "Entre tonos de gris"). I was amazed by Lina´s and her mother's strength. Thank you for this strong, moving and unforgettable story. Thank you for opening our eyes to this other holocaust. In your research, did you travel to Trofimovsk, Lina´s final destination? For what is known, was a real diary or capusule ever found? Greetings from Monterrey, México.

Amélie Contant asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hi Ruta! I am a middle school student and I loved your book Salt to the Sea. I read it non stop and it was so powerful. I was wondering how long it took you to do the research? And would you consider coming to Canada? Thank you!

Liv asked Ruta Sepetys:

Which book did you find the hardest to research? I'm meeting you on the 23rd of April at North Texas Teen Book Festival, and I can't wait to meet you!
