New book deal with Knopf!
Ms. Blume is thrilled to announce that she has just inked a deal for her sixth book.
This marks her fifth project with her long-time publishing house, Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, and her second collaboration with artist and illustrator David Foote.
The new book—The World Before Us—is a fantastical, humorous, lavishly-illustrated guide to Earth before humans came around. It will be released in fall 2011.
Ms. Blume and Mr. Foote’s first book together, titled Modern Fairies, Dwarves, Goblins, and Other Nasties, will be released on September 14, 2010.
