New Stiefvater Series Coming

I'm very excited that Maggie Stiefvater is one of the keynote speakers at the Colorado Teen Literature Conference this Saturday. I was a fan of her Wolves of Mercy Falls series and her latest book The Scorpio Races and she's always engaging and entertaining when she speaks. I'm excited that Scholastic recently announced the publication of a new four-book series from Stiefvater. The first book in the series, The Raven Boys, will be published by Scholastic Press on September 18; three additional books in the Raven Cycle will follow.

The book introduces Richard “Dick” Campbell Gansey, III, a handsome private school student seeking a vanished Welsh King, and Blue Sargent, the daughter of a psychic, who has been told that if she kisses her true love, he will die. “I grew up on a diet of exceptional fantasy series for children—The Dark Is Rising, The Black Cauldron, A Wrinkle in Time, The Chronicles of Narnia—and I’ve always wanted to write one of those sprawling epic sagas built from intimate moments,” said Stiefvater in a statement.

JCPL already has the title in our catalog so be sure and place a hold and be one of the first ones to get it. I've already got my name on the list!
