Kirkus Reviews
Regarding her 4th novel Goodbye Stranger (2015), Kirkus gives a starred review (now quoted here) and two blog posts, one largely an interview. This is three starred reviews in a row for Stead. There was also a blog post re her 3rd novel, "Rebecca Stead's Post-Newbery Stunner Liar & Spy", also largely an interview.
