The elusive BEA unicorn

I was at BEA in NYC last weekend, and I forgot to take photos. So I have three scrounged up ones.

With two of my favorite boys: Michael Buckley (Sisters Grimm) and Tom Angleberger (Origami Yoda). What's that on my head? A My Little Pony party hat/unicorn horn I picked up. Someone said, "You're not going to wear that," and so...

With Alaya Johnson (The Summer Prince), showing off my magical horn madness. I was the elusive BEA unicorn. Catch me among the book stacks and I grant you a wish.

Hanging out with my (obviously) very good friend, Kate di Camillo, completely with her knowledge and approval.

I haven't shown you the (not so) wee ones in a bit. They're pretty awesome.

As for BEA news, I had two books announced. The press release hasn't gone out for one, so that will come later this week I think. But I can tell you that I'll be writing the 4th book in the SPIRIT ANIMALS series, Scholastic's new multiplatform middle grade series (like 39 CLUES and INFINITY RING). The first book, by Brandon Mull, comes out this fall. My book will be published in July 2014.
