So, I've been at Dragon*Con all weekend, and I'm bushed. But I did want to share some awesome information I got from the YA panel I went to this weekend. It was the Coming Soon panel presented by Susan Fichtelberg, Diana Tixier Herald and Bonnie Kunzel. The following are just a few of the books they talked about that are coming out in the near future.
The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde.
Publisher: Harcourt
Release: 10/2012
(Gr. 7+)
A fantasy story with dragons and where magical people end up doing mundane things like acting as delivery services or plumbing. It seems to be a funny, feel good novel.
Dodger by Terry Pratchett
Publisher: HarperCollins
Release: 9/2012
(Gr. 7+)
The story of the Artful Dodger from Charles' Dickens famous book, Oliver Twist.
Curse of the Thirteenth Fey: The True Tale of Sleeping Beauty by Jane Yolen
Publisher: Philomel
Release: 11/2012
(Gr. 5+)
A new twist on an old fairytale. It is supposed to be very good and the panelist seemed enthusiastic about it as she spoke to us about the novel. And Jane Yolen is a wonderful writer!
And that's it for now. Next week will be back to regular programming with the 'Looking Forward To' post. ^_^
