Teen Thursday

Thursday is here again! Lucky us there is more YA news to share.

Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome details to the streets of London that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The long awaited sequel to the Edgar Award-nominated  The Name of the Star is almost here! AND you can pre-order a signed copy of The Madness Underneath from BookPeople now – which will include a special gift pack for you straight from Maureen!

The deal is very simple. If you pre-order The Madness Underneath from BookPeople, on the day it comes out you will receive A SIGNED BOOK and THE EXCLUSIVE PRE-RELEASE PRESENT. So not only will you have the book in your hot little hands faster than anyone else, that book will be LOVINGLY signed, and come with a present.

You’re probably wondering what the present is. We’ll tell you.

Last year, Maureen did a custom designed magnet set. This year, she came up with SEVEN DESIGNS (with the help of Leakycon artist Jordan Edwards, graphic artist Erin Lazak, and manga artist Cassandra Jean).

You get ALL SEVEN of these high-quality vinyl stickers with EVERY BOOK. Here we go.

#1 I READ, designed by Jordan Edwards

 

This simple, declarative sticker will tell people what you get up to with your time. Be proud. Tell them you read.

#2 STARE, designed by Jordan Edwards

This sticker was somewhat inevitable. But it’s a good one to have. If you stick it on your computer, it will watch other people in the room as you work, ensuring your privacy and giving you a sense of tremendous well-being.

#3 WEXFORD OFFICIAL LOGO, designed by Jordan Edwards

 

Make the world think you go to Wexford. Also, there are clues in this sticker.

4. RORY IN FRONT OF WEXFORD by Cassandra Jean

A nice bit of manga to adorn anything you like.

5. FEAR! designed by Jordan Edwards

 

A little inspirational quote to keep with you in case you are being chased by murderous ghosts.

6. ON WRITING, designed by Erin Lazak

 

And my favorite one … the one that really makes this worth it …

7. I SHIP, designed by Jordan Edwards

You need this sticker. Everyone needs this sticker.

The actual sticker is bumper-sticker-sized (this has been scaled down to fit the screen) and is a gorgeous, vivid pink-purple that can be seen from space. Put it across the back of a laptop, on a fridge, on a car … anywhere you need to tell the world that YOU SHIP IT.

So you get ALL of those, plus the signed book. And you support an independent bookstore. And you get the book fast. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

 Pre-order online (add the book to your cart and write SIGNED COPY in the comments field during checkout) or give us a call (512-472-5050). 
Your pre-ordered book will be available as of February 26th, the day the book goes on sale nationwide. 
Thank you for supporting Maureen Johnson and your local independent bookstore!
