ELIZABETH EULBERG SCHOLASTIC INC 9781546129271 PAPERBACK NOVEL

Age Level: 12+ Dimensions: 203 X 133 MM Page Count: 304 PP

Evie is heartbroken and betrayed when a video of her confronting her cheating ex-boyfriend goes viral, so what’s a girl to do? Flee to London for the summer, of course! Evie loves everything about London—the double decker buses, afternoon tea, history around every corner. Everything that is but having to stay with the person who’s hurt her most of all — her father.

Desperate for a distraction from their contentious relationship, Evie spends her days wandering the historic streets ... where as though fate is intervening, she keeps meeting a charming and beautiful British busker named Aiden. Evie doesn’t want to open herself up again, but Aiden is funny, kind, and he never treats Evie like she’s too much. He may just be worth taking a chance on ... if Evie can keep her past from getting in the way of her future. Internationally bestselling author Elizabeth Eulberg pens an unforgettable journey that’s heartwarming, hilarious, and heavy on both romance and jetlag.

SALES POINTS: • The international best-selling queen of romcoms returns with a super accessible, paperback original format!

• This deeply funny and romantic novel is perfect for Elizabeth’s existing fans as well as fans of Becky Albertalli, Lynn Painter, and Emma Lord.

• The London setting will appeal to Anglophiles everywhere, and our lovably feminist and big-mouthed protagonist will resonate with similarly outspoken readers.

• Take a Chance on Me explores perennial themes such as self esteem, difficult family dynamics, and disordered eating.

With the help of his best friend, Aberdeen, a mysterious new kid named Erica, and an ancient PetMaster manual, Finch tries to learn how to own his powers and use them to help those in need, protect the vulnerable, and, most important, impress his crush, Ken Chu, the star of the upcoming school musical.

Afia has always felt like half of a whole. Her twin sister, Aya, is perfectly happy with fulfilling their family’s expectations of them. But Afia dreams of exploring the world beyond her secluded cliffside home of Dafra. She dreams of adventure.

When she meets a charming shape-shifter named Bakame, who dazzles her with promises of a magical land called Ijabu, Afia decides to take her destiny into her own hands. Although it will mean leaving everything she has ever known behind, including her beloved sister, Afia follows Bakame into the forbidden forests surrounding Dafra, from which no one has ever returned.

Filled with magical sights, a charismatic Queen and her intriguing court, Ijabu is everything that Afia has ever dreamed of. But she soon discovers that nothing is as it seems, and this fantasy world demands a terrible price. With the help of a mysterious trickster, Afia must evade the Queen’s hunters and the lost dreamers of Ijabu, who wish to pull her deeper into their web.

Now, Afia must find the courage to survive while standing on her own—or risking losing herself completely to the wonders of Ijabu.

Debut author-illustrator Mia Araujo weaves an extraordinarily luminous and beautiful story, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, about what it takes to find your true self, even if it means facing your deepest fears.

“Nothing short of an amazing adventure into a fantastic world, Mia Araujo has crafted a beautiful narrative, made all the more incredible by stunning visuals that overflow with heart and soul.” – David F. Walker, Eisner-award winning author of Bitter Root and The Second Chance of Darius Logan.

Her art has also been published in numerous books and magazines.

• In Afia in the Land Of Wonders, Araujo modernises the classic story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, while at the same time grounding it in the expansive histories and mythologies of West Africa of the 10th–16th centuries.

• Mia Araujo breaks out into the literary world with this extraordinary, luminous debut.

• This is a story for and about twins, a celebration of their special bond and an exploration of its complexities.
