This November, readers were introduced to Jenny the Adventurer, the intrepid heroine of Anna Staniszewski’s debut middle-grade fantasy novel, MY VERY UN-FAIRY TALE LIFE. Battling manic clowns, fleeing from crazed unicorns, and rescuing imprisoned princes are just a few of the many predicaments Jenny encounters in this hilarious magical adventure. That sounds like a terrific, fly-off-the-shelves book, you say?—Well, readers have certainly agreed with you, as MY VERY UN-FAIRY TALE LIFE was rushed into a second printing just three weeks after publication! |
And Part 2!

And here comes middle grade!
