Happy Monday, Featherheads! I have two beautiful things to share with you today! It thrills us right to our bones to see the art you readers make from Andrew’s world.
First, a cosplay. Eight-year-old Willa dressed as Leeli for her school’s Book Character Day. Doesn’t she look so much like Leeli? I had to do a double-take, truly.
And here is a scene you might remember from the end of The Monster in the Hollows—a scene with the Igiby three and a certain cloven. The creator’s name is Moriah, and she is twelve. Click the arrows to see closeups of each character. Isn’t the detail incredible? So well done, Moriah!
The Andrew update for this week is that he’s just wrapped up the online readalong of The Monster in the Hollows, and is taking this week to RECORD (!!) both books 1 and 2 for next year’s audiobook release. :-) After that he’ll have to take a bit of a break to let his voice recover before he can come read The Warden and the Wolf King aloud to us online, but he will just as soon as he’s able, and I’ll make sure to post an announcement at the site when the start date is set. You can also follow him on Facebook or Instagram for updates. :-) He is enjoying reading to you so much, and I love that it’s possible to connect with each other this way during a weirdypants year.
Until next time—
