EVERLY HEIGHTS CONNECTIONS

Nat Greco, the main character, gets pulled back by the “Everly Heights Magnet” after she left at the end of Kids Like Us.

Travis, Jeremy’s romantic rival in Kids Like Us, is part of Gaston’s plot to claim Cornerstone Theater for his own.
Jeremy Haun, the protagonist in Fanboy, and his production company Chosen Few Productions play a big part in the effort to save Cornerstone Theater.
Tina Infantino, the town eccentric, made her first appearance as a teenager who didn’t want to go to Space Camp in Zoo of Zero Tolerance. She currently takes center stage in the first Everly Heights book Infinite Tina: World’s Apart, out now.
Beatrix and her witches started in the 90s as “The Sparkles,” a group of mean girls in Very Special.

Mr. Matheson, the math teacher in Very Special who went on to buy The Koffee Shop in Kids Like Us, makes several appearances. He mentions a rumor that the basement of Leroy’s Pub was part of some secret government project, a nod to the W.E.I.R.D.E. Task Force from Nosloo the Great.
Ralphie, the gang member who steals from the Quaker Intercourse Mafia in The Last Chance Detective Agency, returns to make trouble for Jim Colvin.
