For #inktober2026 I made American Traditional tattoo designs of some of my friends' characters! Getting to work in a new style is so fun and I always scroll through my friends' pages for inspiration, so this was the natural next step!

Happy pub day to all of our books on-sale today!

BUILDING 903 by Lois Lowry is the most recent title from the author of The Giver. Lois Lowry delivers a story about censorship, comfort, complicity, and the radical power of books to open portals and unlock our humanity through our most powerful tool: the imagination.

THE GIVER DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION is now available in an irresistible, stunningly deluxe collector’s edition.

THE SECRET SANTA SETUP by Sarah Hutt will make for a fun holiday season as you count down to Christmas in 25 romantic, sealed chapters! 16-year-old Amanda knows exactly what she wants this year. But circumstances—and a barn cat only she can see—end up leading her to what she needs.

Buckle up for the ride of a lifetime in MIA’S CHEETAH by Amelia Bothe that will make miles—and imaginations—fly! Fantasy and family tradition combine on this long car ride when a girl discovers the magic waiting just outside her car window.

All titles are available wherever you get your books. Happy reading!

🐆 Mia’s Cheetah by Amelia Bothe | @ameliabothe.
Publisher: Clarion (HarperCollins) | @clarionbooks @harperkids.
Agent: Erica Rand Silverman | @ericarsilverman.

Mia is not excited about the long, boring drive to Nana’s house. Too many miles. Too much waiting. Too little fun. But then her dad lets her in on a secret game and everything changes. Now, the trip that started out so dull suddenly feels much too short! And when they finally get to Nana’s house, Mia discovers this special tradition runs deeper than she ever guessed.

With playful, not-to-be-missed illustrations and a tender family twist, Mia’s Cheetah celebrates the power of imagination waiting just outside our windows.

★ “A joyful, mesmerizing celebration of imagination.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

—Booklist, starred review

★ “This visually stunning book has made its gentle case: no journey is boring when the imagination rides along.”
