Fairytale in Progress
Sara Schonfeld at HarperTeen has acquired North American rights to Cara Stout's Fairytale in Progress series. The first book, Enchanted to Meet You, is a romance in which a teen gets cast as a princess at Fairytale Gardens, with the mission to expose potential fraudulent activities, with only one problem—she has to ignore the sparks that fly with the handsome casted prince, who also happens to be the owner's son. The books were originally published in the U.K.; book one will publish in winter 2026, and book two, A Knight Before Christmas, will publish in spring 2026. Jemiscoe Chambers-Black at Andrea Brown Literary Agency brokered the deal.

Marvelous Morrie Turner
Catherine Laudone at S&S/Beach Lane Books has bought world rights to Marvelous Morrie Turner: The Man Who Brought Color to the Comics Pages by Don Tate, a picture book biography about cartoonist Morrie Turner, the creator of Wee Pals, the first American syndicated strip with an ethnically diverse cast of characters. Publication is slated for spring 2028; Caryn Wiseman at Andrea Brown Literary Agency negotiated the deal.

The River She Became
Sara Goodman at Wednesday Books has acquired a new romantasy duology by Emily Varga, The River She Became and The River on Fire. Pitched as The Mummy meets The Cruel Prince, the story follows a relic hunter searching for a way to restore magic to her world. To do so she must cross into a fae world and work with an enigmatic captain to outwit ancient curses, battle creatures born of nightmares, and find a power that could resurrect both their worlds. Publication is set for spring 2026 and spring 2027; Paige Terlip at Andrea Brown Literary Agency did the deal for world English rights.

There's still way more enthusiasm for YA and NA romantasy, but we won't get that audience in the future unless we continue to put great MG books on shelves now.
