Q & A
 Diane Dillon Many books encourage children to aim high, but few take on the small, internal voice that discourages them. Diane Dillon’s I Can Do Anything! Don’t Tell Me I Can’t, the first book she’s written without her husband, the late Leo Dillon, shows a girl exploring everything from astronomy to deep-sea diving and learning how to tame her internal doubts along the way. PW spoke with Dillon about doing research in pajamas, managing pastel dust, and learning to quiet her own little voice of discouragement. Q: Where did the idea of the conversation with the little voice come from? A: I wrote the story in the year after Leo died. It was something that just came to me. I felt like kids need to know that they don’t have to listen to that voice, and they can talk back. As I thought about it, I realized that it was a personal thing that each child has, a thing that they picture themselves, and I decided not to give it a personality or a body. more

in an alternate history World's Fair Chicago, where America is a monarchy,
science is king, and magic shouldn't exist—and one girl's touch has the power
to grant wishes. The first book is slated for fall 2020, following the
publication of a fourth book in Cavallaro's Charlotte Holmes series, in
winter 2019; Lana Popovic at Chalberg & Sussman brokered the deal for
North American rights.  Jennifer Ung at Simon Pulse has bought two as
yet untitled contemporary YA novels by Akemi Dawn Bowman, author of
the Morris Award finalist Starfish. The first novel follows a
multiracial teenage girl who dreams of quitting school to become a trapeze
artist in her parents' Las Vegas circus, against their wishes, prompting her
to join a rival circus. There, she grows close to a handsome musician and
performer—while untangling her family's complicated past and present.
Publication is set for fall 2019 and 2020; Penny Moore at Empire Literary
negotiated the two-book deal for North American rights.  Nicole Otto at Imprint has acquired, in a
preempt, debut author Adalyn Grace's feminist YA fantasy duology, All

destroys her kingdom. Publication of the first book is planned for winter
2020; Hillary Jacobson at ICM Partners did the two-book deal for world
English rights.  Catherine Laudone at Simon & Schuster has
bought Lauren Spieller's YA novel, She's the Worst, pitched as 10

for college, but when a secret is revealed it will either bring them closer
or pull them apart for good. Publication is scheduled for fall 2019; Jim
McCarthy at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret handled the deal for world rights.
 Wendy Lamb at Random House/Lamb has acquired Beach
Season by Mae Respicio, author of The House That Lou Built.
Longing to get her family back to normal after a tragedy, a girl uses her
love of the ocean, special-effects make-up, and Filipino folklore—plus a
special visit from her great-grandfather—to find a way to help them move on.
Publication is slated for 2020; Sarah Davies at Greenhouse Literary brokered
the deal for world English rights.  Calista Brill at First Second Books has bought

the deal for world rights.  Taylor Norman at Chronicle has acquired K.A.

for world rights.  Kristin Rens at HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray

2019; Rubin Pfeffer at Rubin Pfeffer Content represented the author-illustrator.
 Kate O'Sullivan at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

it. Publication is set for fall 2019; Kirsten Hall at Catbird Productions did
the deal for world rights.  Michael Joosten at Doubleday has bought world
rights to Cale Atkinson's Unicorn Science. The comedic picture
book features Professors Glitter Pants, Star Hoof, and Sugar Beard (plus
trusty lab assistant Pete)—the world's leading unicorn experts—as they deliver
the facts, settle the mysteries, and show readers that unicorns are more than
just horns and rainbows. Publication is slated for fall 2019; Nicole Tugeau
at Tugeau 2 represented the author-illustrator.  Adrienne Szpyrka and Julie Matysik at Running
Press Kids have acquired world rights to Zoe Persico's debut picture

REVIEWS
 Alma and How She Got
Her Name Juana Martinez-Neal. Candlewick, $15.99 (32p) ISBN 978-0-7636-9355-8 Her full name is Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela, and it’s so long that “it never fits,” as the girl explains to her father. (When she writes it on a sheet of paper, she has to tape an extra piece to the bottom.) But as Daddy explains that there’s a remarkable relative behind each of her names, Alma realizes that she embodies their talents and character. Martinez-Neal’s first outing as author is a winner. more  The Long Island Drew Beckmeyer. Chronicle, $17.99 (64p) ISBN 978-1-4521-5485-5 Beckmeyer’s auspicious debut imagines a group of humans living on one side of a long, narrow island. The far side of the island, “the one nobody had ever seen,” is guarded by forbidding rocks and lush vegetation “too dense to cut through.” Consumed with desire to reach the island’s far side, the islanders construct a gigantic slide. Once they reach the inaccessible side of the island, they have a new problem: they can’t get back. more  Fairy Spell: How Two Girls Convinced the World That Fairies Are Real
Marc Tyler Nobleman, illus. by Eliza Wheeler. Clarion, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-0-544-69948-9 Nobleman resurrects the story of an early 20th-century hoax that pulled the wool over the eyes of many Britons, including Arthur Conan Doyle. Cousins Frances Griffiths and Elise Wright copied elaborate drawings of female dancers in flowing garb from a book, then photographed themselves outdoors with these “sprites.” After Doyle published the photos, alongside his article about fairies, in a popular magazine, “everyone was aflutter." more  Crash: The Fall and Rise of America in the 1930s Marc Favreau. Little, Brown, $18.99 (240p) ISBN 978-0-316-54586-0 Favreau, in his first book for children, explains Black Tuesday, the 1929 stock market crash, the Great Depression, and the steps the United States government took to try to help its citizens get back on their feet. He begins by recounting stories of how the stock market crash and subsequent economic depression affected real people—across different socioeconomic levels, ethnicities, genders, and geographical locations—giving readers an understanding of personal hardships and a glimpse into how economics works. more  Folded Notes from High School Matt Boren. Razorbill, $17.99 (368p) ISBN 978-0-451-47820-7 The year is 1991, when teens didn’t communicate through texts but through handwritten notes stuffed into lockers, desks, and mailboxes. In a novel that captures the lingo, fads, and teenage preoccupations of the period, actor and TV writer Boren makes a charismatic debut as he traces the ups and downs of Tara Maureen Murphy’s life through notes exchanged between friends and enemies. more
