BOOK DEALS
The co-author of the gorgeous GRANDFATHER GANDHI series, Bethany Hegedus, has another picture book biography coming out in spring 2018. HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray has acquired Bethany’s ALABAMA SPITFIRE: THE STORY OF HARPER LEE AND TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. The book tells how a scrappy tomboy called Nelle realized her lifelong dream of becoming an author and penned one of the most influential books of our time. We can’t wait until this book is shared with the world.
NEW BOOKS
Also out this month is TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE by Ammi-Joan Paquette and co-author Laurie Ann Thompson. Did you know that there is a fungus that can control the mind of an ant and make it do its bidding? Would you believe there is such a thing as a corpse flower—a ten-foot-tall plant with a blossom that smells like a zombie? How about a species of octopus that doesn’t live in water but rather lurks in trees in the Pacific Northwest? Every story in this book is strange and astounding. But not all of them are real. Just like the old game in this book’s title, two out of every three stories are completely true and one is an outright lie. Can you guess which?
