First - Captain Underpants is coming back! The long-awaited tenth book in the series, The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen From the Future, will be coming out sometime later this year. Author is contracted for three more Captain Underpants books after this one. Woohoo!
Secondly, and kind of oddly, singer/actress of Lizzie McGuire fame is... writing a novel? She recently signed a multiple-book contract with Simon and Schuster for a Young Adult Series. The first book, Elixir, will be published in the fall of this year. According to this website, the new series "will focus on a photojournalist named Clea Raymond, the celebrity offspring of a politician and a doctor. In Da Vinci Code fashion, she chases a dashing boy in a race against time to unravel a centuries-old mystery that could unlock the key to her soulmate's true identity." Huh.
And to round out this list, a recommendation for a book that you might not have heard of: Neil Flambé and the Marco Polo Murders, by Canadian author . According to the CM review:
The top chefs of Vancouver's classier restaurants are dying, killed by some unidentifiable poison that leaves them with their faces blue but their lips smiling. The chief of police calls in his expert: The Nose, aka 14-year-old Neil Flambé, chef, restauranteur, sniffer extraordinary, and, incidentally, school boy.Looks interesting!
