The world is a little scary right now. But if we're all going to be spending more time in our homes, it might be nice to have a diverting adventure story to read. Fortunately, I have just the thing.
It’s out April 7th.
As you can see, Eion Colfer (of Artemis Fowl fame) called it “Startling, original, and epic,” which is more than I have ever hoped to be in my boldest days. And Kirkus said, “The series opener’s both funny and well paced [sic] . . . the world-building is fantastic . . . and the character development is splendid.”
I can only hope you agree.
I talked to my new and always wonderfully surprising friend, Betsy Bird, about how the book came to be here: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2020/03/10/in-which-the-proprietor-of-this-blog-allows-one-christian-mckay-heidicker-to-speak-his-piece/
Finally, apologies for the late announcement. My name wasn't on the book until after Foxes received the Newbery Honor, and I was going to sit out the whole promotional biz this time around. But honestly, it feels good to talk about this one.
Until April 7th . . .
