The release date for Book 3 in The Inheritance Cycle has just been announced. Christopher Paolini’s first two books in the series, Eragon and Eldest, sold over 12.5 million copies worldwide. The third novel, Brisingr, will have a first printing of 2.5 million copies, and will be released September 20, 2008.
Recently announced, Brian Selznick received the 2008 Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished American Picture Book for Children. His young adult novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, stunned all of us in the store when we first saw it last year. The book comes in at 526 pages, but don’t let that alarm you, more than 300 pages of the book is illustrations, done by Selznick himself. Selznick uses both narrative and illustrations to move the story forward, the book could not stand on one of those alone. It is an amazing and inventive book.
