We Are YA is going daily to keep you company in these days of social distancing. Join Penguin Teen staffer Felicity for an interview with Astrid Scholte, author of Four Dead Queens and her new book The Vanishing Deep.

'The Near and the Far - Volume 2' has over 20 writers from the Pacific region contributing, with Francesca Rendle-Short telling us about the WrICE project.Astrid Scholte's imaginary kingdom is divided into four realms ruled by four queens and each is being assassinated. Find out how and why in "Four Dead Queens".

In Astrid Scholte's inventive and beguiling mashup of murder mystery and fantasy, Four Dead Queens, the world of Quadara is a carefully divided realm in which technology and nature, commerce and beauty, reason and emotion are carefully sorted out among four wildly different regions, each with its own queen representing her people's unique character. Teenage thief Keralie Corrington is drawn into an intrigue that threatens to overturn the balance at the heart of this world — and Keralie's cunning and professional skill may be crucial to untangling a deadly conspiracy — if she can survive the ordeal. We talked with Astrid Schulte by phone about her approach to worldbuilding, the Stephen Spielberg film that inspired her career, and how she went about pursuing her goal of writing in her words, a fantasy version of Agatha Christie.

  Book Vs Movie “The Manchurian Candidate” The Richard Condon Novel Vs. the 1962 John Frankenheimer Cult Classic   The Margos have a thing for espionage and intrigue in this ep talking about the Richard Condon 1959 novel The Manchurian Candidate which was bought by Frank Sinatra and United Artists films and made into a controversial movie in 1962. Detailing the life of former infantrymen who are brainwashed by the Soviet Union while captured in the Korean War and who later aim to overthrow the United States via a presidential election--it was considered a classic “bad book” by Time magazine (which meant it as a compliment) and seems prescient considering what is happening in politics today. The story of Major Bennett Marco and Sergeant Raymond Shaw and how deal with recurring nightmares over what they experienced makes up the rest of the book. In short, Shaw can become an assassin when given a “posthypnotic trigger” and his mother is married to Senator Johnny Iselin. She and Ray have an incestual relationship and she is working with the Communists to get her husband elected president. The movie stars Sinatra as Marco and was directed by John Frankenheimer to little excitement in 1962 (go figure!) One year later President Kennedy was assassinated and the film was pulled from the public with fears it influenced Lee Harvey Oswald who was known to be a regular movie-goer. The Margos discuss the book and the movie and decide which we like better. (Spoiler--it’s not even close here!) Check out the link below to listen to the episode. This episode is once again sponsored by Penguin Random House! FOUR DEAD QUEENS by Astrid Scholte A divided nation. Four Queens. A ruthless pickpocket. A noble messenger. And the murders that unite them.   Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but she’s, in fact, one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. He runs afoul of Keralie when she steals a package from him, putting his life in danger. When Varin attempts to retrieve the package, he and Keralie both find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead. With no other choices and on the run from Keralie’s former employer, the two decide to join forces, endeavoring to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives in the process.
