Deal announcement: Three more books for Sheila Grau

Sheila Grau's debut middlegrade novel, DR. CRITCHLORE'S SCHOOL FOR MINIONS, launched last month to great reviews and it's selling like hotcakes. No surprise there—it's funny, smart, and loaded with heart. A sequel was already under contract, but the good people of Amulet/Abrams know a good thing when they see it, and they've signed up three more books from Sheila! Two more in the DR. CRITCHLORE'S series for 2017 and 2018, and an extraordinarily inventive fairytale retelling that will publish in Fall 2016. Congratulations, Sheila!
