New Deal: Mind Over Monsters!

Karen Wojtyla at McElderry Books has bought North American rights to Betsy Uhrig‘s next middle-grade novel, Mind over Monsters!, about an anxious seventh grader who tries out a new mindfulness app at school, only the calls to “face her fears” become increasingly literal, and oddly specific monsters start to appear—and multiply. Ammi-Joan Paquette at Erin Murphy Literary Agency did the deal, for publication in summer 2024.
