Middle-Grade Debut Deal for Lisa Tyre

I'm thrilled to announce a deal for debut author Lisa Tyre!  Lisa has written a contemporary middle grade novel that has everything going for it -- some of the best characters I've come across in a long time, small Southern town setting so real you'd swear you'd been there yourself, and some of the funniest lines I've ever read.  I love this book, and am so happy that we found it a home with Nancy Paulsen at her Penguin imprint!

You can learn more about Lisa and her book projects at her website, http://lisalewistyre.com/, or say hi on twitter: @LisaLewisTyre.

Hooray!
