 I'm so excited that my forthcoming book Kingdom of Dust has a publication date! It will be released on 8/20/2024 by HarperCollins/Quill Tree Books.
I'm also excited for readers to see the amazing cover, illustrated once again by the fantastic Michael Machira Mwangi and designed by David Curtis. I'm grateful to John Schu for hosting the cover reveal for me again. I loved the questions he asked me about A Comb of Wishes, and I can't wait to share my answers about this latest middle grade fantasy, Kingdom of Dust. Look for the big reveal on Wednesday, October 11th on John's blog, Watch. Connect. Read. If you haven't signed up for my newsletter, this is the perfect time. I'll be sending our a new edition soon and I'm eager to share behind the scenes details about my new book, as well as preorder links and other goodies.
