Leah On the Offbeat comes out April 24th in the US, and I’m so excited to celebrate with a postcard giveaway! I drew/painted a scene from Leah On the Offbeat (it will totally make sense once you read the book). Then I turned that scene into a postcard, which I’ll sign and mail to anyone who preorders the book and submits proof of purchase. Here’s how you can get one!
Step 1: Preorder or purchase LEAH ON THE OFFBEAT from any retailer (any language, any edition) by April 28th, 2018.
Step 2: Photograph/screenshot your proof of purchase and email it to albertalli.requests at gmail. If you no longer have this, send a photo of your book when it arrives.
-Feel free to send proof of purchase anytime between now and 4/28.
-Every person who submits proof of purchase gets a postcard.
-If you’re unable to preorder or purchase, stay tuned - there will be a way to win the electronic version of this image.
-If you want your Leah hardcover to be signed and personalized when it arrives, I recommend ordering it from FoxTale Book Shoppe in Woodstock, GA. They ship internationally for an extra fee, and instructions are on their site.
Join us for a blog tour for Jen Wang’s wonderful upcoming graphic novel — The Prince and the Dressmaker! This book is the story of a prince who hires a dressmaker to make dresses for him to wear … and in the process, they both grow closer together. We’re delighted to be publishing this amazing book for Valentine’s Day — and the blog tour will give you a peek inside the covers as each blogger talks about their favorite panel.
Prince Sebastian is looking for a bride—or rather, his parents are looking for one for him. Sebastian is too busy hiding his secret life from everyone. At night he puts on daring dresses and takes Paris by storm as the fabulous Lady Crystallia—the hottest fashion icon in the world capital of fashion!
Sebastian’s secret weapon (and best friend) is the brilliant dressmaker Frances—one of only two people who know the truth: sometimes this boy wears dresses. But Frances dreams of greatness, and being someone’s secret weapon means being a secret. Forever. How long can Frances defer her dreams to protect a friend? Jen Wang weaves an exuberantly romantic tale of identity, young love, art, and family. A fairy tale for any age, The Prince and the Dressmaker will steal your heart.
Have you ever read A Wrinkle In Time? I have not, but I’m going up in the next few days because I’m horribly excited for the movie, but I want to read the book first!

Do you try to read the before watching the movie or do you not care?

Summary:
Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (one of the most popular boys in school) journey through time and space in search of Meg’s father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. What’s a tesseract? It’s a wrinkle in time–but to say any more about the subject would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Madeleine L'Engle’s unusual and enchanting book.
