The Gilded Girl Upcoming, Early 2021
|
From Publisher's Marketplace:
"Janine O’Malley at Farrar, Straus and Giroux has acquired, at auction, The Gilded Girl, a middle grade fantasy by debut author Alyssa Colman. A loose retelling of A Little Princess, the story is set in a world where any child can spark magic, but only the elite are allowed to kindle it. In 1906, at Miss Posterity’s Academy for Practical Magic (the absolute best of New York kindling schools), two girls—one privileged but unskilled, the other indentured but talented—must put aside their differences or risk having their magic snuffed out forever. Along the way, they will encounter talking cats (house dragons, to those in the know), shy libraries that like to hide themselves, and pop quizzes that quite literally pop. Publication is scheduled for winter 2021; Brooks Sherman at Janklow & Nesbit negotiated the deal for North American rights. |
