Kate McKinnon Unveils New Adventure in ‘Secrets of the Purple Pearl’—Pre-Order Now!
Oh, look at that—Kate McKinnon is back, and this time she’s armed with a sequel to her wildly popular children’s mystery novel, Secrets of the Purple Pearl. Yes, you heard right! The former Saturday Night Live star is luring young readers back into the whimsical world of the Porch sisters and their madcap mentor, Millicent Quibb. In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE, McKinnon revealed that this installment builds on the success of her first book, which made waves as a New York Times bestseller just last fall. Talk about a literary glow-up!
Now, what’s the scoop? This new adventure unfolds at the Purple Pearl Hotel, where the Porch sisters—Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee—find themselves in a pickle with the nefarious Krenetics Research Association. These mad scientists are hot on the trail of the mythical Purple Pearl, said to be lurking at the ominous depths of Kagloopy Lake. Spoiler alert: they plan to resurrect their sinister leader, Talon Sharktüth, in the process. And you thought your summer vacation was chaotic!
McKinnon, channeling her inner mad scientist (or perhaps simply her inner child), expresses her joy in crafting these stories, stating that connecting with aspiring young scientists has been one of her greatest honors. She’s not just dishing out entertainment; she’s nurturing creativity and quirkiness in today’s youth. Plus, she’s on a mission to remind us all about the weirdness of childhood—something we can all relate to, even if we try to hide it behind our adult personas.
So, if you’re ready for a summer filled with mystery, adventure, and the occasional Shrimpmaid, make sure to pre-order Secrets of the Purple Pearl before its September 30 release. After all, who wouldn’t want to dive into a lake of mad science and mischief?
Class dismissed. Don’t forget to embrace your inner weirdness along the way!
