Adriana Trigiani, author of Big Stone Gap,enters the world of young adult literature with Viola in Reel Life. The first in a series, Viola in Reel Life, is about 14-year-old Viola, who hates the idea of moving from her Brooklyn home to boarding school in Indiana for ninth grade while her parents finish a film project in Afghanistan. Roommates, dates, ghosts, and moviemaking are part of the mix for Viola.
In addition to writing Big Stone Gap—now in production featuring Whoopi Goldberg— and several other popular novels including Very Valentine, Trigiani has written for theater, television, and movie production. She was writer-producer of The Cosby Show and A Different World and producer-head writer for City Kids for Jim Henson Productions.
