HarperCollins Children's Books has acquired a the first title in a paranormal new young adult series by debut novelist Kiersten White. Publishing director Rachel Denwood bought UK and Commonwealth rights excluding Canada for Paranormalcy from HarperCollins US.
Publishing director Rachel Denwood said: "When a brilliantly wrought character leaps off the page and stays with you, zapping her Tasey gun into your thoughts when they should be elsewhere, you know that you’ve met a pretty new kind of kick-ass heroine. Paranormalcy is a blast from start to finish."
The first title in the series, Paranormalcy, is scheduled for publication in January 2011. The book tells of a world in which paranormals are monitord and controlled.
