There’s a new book on the horizon from master storyteller Adi Rule, and this one is gonna be a chiller! Have you ever had “that one person” in your life who you couldn’t quite pin down? Are they legit . . . or are they devious and manipulative? And why are you the only one who can see it??

This is the premise at the heart of Adi Rule’s new thrill ride of a YA novel – and here’s all the details you need to know:

Maya Marlette at Scholastic has acquired Adi Rule’s Why Would I Lie? a twisty YA psychological thriller about a high school senior and class valedictorian who becomes obsessed with proving that a charismatic classmate is not all that he seems. Ammi-Joan Paquette at Erin Murphy Literary Agency negotiated the deal for world rights, and for publication in fall 2022.

This book can’t come out fast enough; rest assured we will be on the edge of our seats until then! Huge congrats, Adi!!
