Sold in a heated 9-bidder auction, Jennifer Donnelly’s STEPSISTER is a fairy tale for the 21st century in which the very essence of happily ever after is up for grabs

STEPSISTER
by Jennifer Donnelly
Scholastic, Spring 2019

STEPSISTER begins with the bloody conclusion of the Brothers Grimm Cinderella as the ugly stepsisters obey their mother’s command to cut off their toes in order to fit into the glass slipper. Isabelle, Cinderella’s “wicked and hideous” sibling, emerges from the margins of our known narrative to reveal the sadness and trauma that created her family’s infamously cruel dynamic. Jennifer frames her alternate version of the fairy tale with a showdown between the three Fates and Chance who battle over the direction of Isabelle’s life. This battle continues as Isabelle begins to reclaim the person she was before her mistreatment of her stepsister defined her entire being. As hardships abound, it becomes clear that Isabelle cannot merely wish for transcendence—she must fight for it.

This is the novel that Jennifer Donnelly has been waiting her entire career to write. STEPSISTER combines the beautiful writing, rich historical setting and unforgettable characters that made “A Northern Light” a Carnegie Medal winner and Printz Honor book with the fantastical world that Jennifer created in “Lost in a Book”, her original take on Beauty & The Beast, which spent almost 20 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and has sold more than 125,000 copies since its release earlier this year.

Book #2 will be another fairy tale and will be published by Scholastic on Spring 2020.

INVASIVE
by Chuck Wendig
Harper Voyager, August 2016

Hannah Stander is a consultant for the FBI–a futurist who helps the Agency with cases that feature demonstrations of bleeding-edge technology. It’s her job to help them identify unforeseen threats: hackers, AIs, genetic modification, anything that in the wrong hands could harm the homeland. Hannah is in an airport, waiting to board a flight home to see her family, when she receives a call from Agent Hollis Copper. “I’ve got a cabin full of over a thousand dead bodies,” he tells her. Whether those bodies are all human, he doesn’t say.
What Hannah finds is a horrifying murder that points to the impossible–someone weaponizing the natural world in a most unnatural way. Discovering who–and why–will take Hannah on a terrifying chase from the Arizona deserts to the secret island laboratory of a billionaire inventor/philanthropist. Hannah knows there are a million ways the world can end, but she just might be facing one she could never have predicted–a new threat both ancient and cutting-edge that could wipe humanity off the earth.

Chuck Wendig is the New York Times bestselling author of the Miriam Black thrillers (which begin with Blackbirds) and numerous other works across books, comics, games, and more. A finalist for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer and the cowriter of the Emmy-nominated digital narrative Collapsus, he is also known for his popular blog, terribleminds.com.

Deux adaptations cinématographiques annoncées !

La première est celle du roman de David Barclay Moore, THE STARS BENEATH OUR FEET, publié par Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers en septembre. Endeavor Content en a acquis les droits et a confié la réalisation à l’acteur Michael B. Jordan, connu pour son rôle de Wallace dans la série télévisée The Wire (« Sur écoute ») et qui sera pour la première fois derrière la caméra.

La deuxième concerne GENIUS, trilogie YA de Leopoldo Gout. Le producteur sera Sean McKittrick, qui avec « Get Out » a obtenu l’un des meilleurs scores de l’année du cinéma indépendant (253 millions de dollars encaissés pour un budget de 4,5 millions de dollars). Il a déclaré :

« Genius is a unicorn, a rare gem that is brilliantly written and entertaining but also has the ability to make positive change in the world, and following the success of Get Out it has become the focus of my new company QC Entertainment to produce films and television series that not only entertain, but have a deeper meaning to create positive change on a global scale. Adapting Leopoldo’s book series into an international television event series is a priority for us and that is why we are partnering with Endeavor Content/IMG to help bring Leopoldo’s vision to television screens worldwide. »
