“Heartwarming and charming—readers will be taken in by Maisie’s list to change her life and enjoy the ride...” — @gretchschreiber.bsky.social , ELLIE HAYCOCK IS TOTALLY NORMAL THE COMPLEX ART OF BEING MAISIE CLARK by @sabkleckner.bsky.social —out now! 💞 northstareditions.com/flux/the-com...
“Heartwarming and charming—readers will be taken in by Maisie’s list to change her life and enjoy the ride as she learns that life, college, and even creativity cannot be defined or reinvented by a list. It’s a testament to starting over, not by force but by choice, and the emotional roller coaster that comes with that decision. Throughout her highs and lows, readers will cheer as Maisie finds just exactly who she is and, more importantly, who she wants to be.” —Gretchen Schreiber, author of Ellie Haycock Is Totally Normal

Pride Month Spotlight

The Art of Running Away by Sabrina KlecknerA 2023 ALA Rainbow Book List Selection

Twelve-year-old Maisie doesn’t think about Calum, her brother who mysteriously left home and cut ties with her family six years ago, or her parents’ insistence that she “broaden her horizons” and try something new—something that isn’t art.

But when her family’s art shop falls on hard times, she runs away to London to reconnect with Calum, hoping he might be the key to saving the shop. As Maisie learns about her family’s past from Calum, Maisie must decide if she can forgive her parents for the mistakes they've made.

The Complex Art of Being Maisie Clark
by Sabrina Klecker

Illustration of a blonde teenage girl lying surrounded by polaroids, a camera, clothes, a drawing tablet, and a list with the heading "Try new things"

“[Maisie’s] inner voice captures the confused, unfiltered thoughts of a teenager—full of self-doubt, sarcasm, and bursts of confidence—in this thoughtful, character-driven story of growth. A well-realized coming-of-age story that celebrates art and the journey to accepting yourself.” —Kirkus Reviews

Introducing the next character from COMPLEX ART: Calum! He is: 📚 28 📚 Maisie’s older bro by 10 yrs 📚 work-life-balance? what is that? 📚 likely will not engage in conversation with you unless it's about the world financial markets or Shrek art is again by the fantastic @pameladraws.bsky.social !

The full illustration of Maisie and Eli by @pameladraws.bsky.social ! I love it so much!! Eli’s panicked expression! Maisie’s chaotic expression! Tower Bridge! Anyway, if you like novels about awkward artist nerds who don’t know how to flirt, you might like THE COMPLEX ART OF BEING MAISIE CLARK! 😂

Now that my ARC has dropped, I figure I should start introducing my book characters! This is Maisie, Eli, Calum, and Benji as random internet posts:
Maisie from "The Complex Art of Being Maisie Clark" as a random internet post that says "I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way"Eli from "The Complex Art of Being Maisie Clark" as a random internet post that says "Reading way above my grade level didn't get me as far in life as I had hoped."Calum from "The Complex Art of Being Maisie Clark" as a random internet post that says "I hate when people ask me to open up like bro I just met you 4 years ago, give it time."Benji from "The Complex Art of Being Maisie Clark" as a random internet post that says "Sometimes I wonder what happened to the people who asked me for directions."
