NEW BOOK DEAL: GARDEN GIRLS

Emilia Sowersby at Roaring Brook Press has acquired Amanda Linsmeier’s (Starlings, Six of Sorrow) Garden Girls, a young-adult original fairy tale about a haunting magic, and what happens when dark family secrets are unburied. The story is told in dual points-of-view of two girls, both seeking escape from oppressive households, where the reader is unsure who to trust. Publication is slated for Winter 2027; Juliana McBride at Rebecca Friedman Literary did the deal for World rights.
