The story of a boy and his imaginary friend -- told by the imaginary friend.
"A witty, heartfelt, and sophisticated story about the consequences of grief." ― Kirkus Reviews [STARRED REVIEW] "Tender, laced with sly humor, and full of complex emotion." ― School Library Journal [STARRED REVIEW] With Imaginary, I tried to bring together all the things I look for in a good story. I wanted to write something funny and sad and exciting; something grounded in the real world, but also capturing the spectacle of an overactive imagination, sweeping the audience into fantasy worlds populated with dragons, trolls, spies and aliens; something that offers beautiful visuals (interior illustrations from the incredibly talented Katy Wu); and something with a totally unique voice -- specifically, the voice of an oversized invisible furball. Imaginary is out now in hardcover and ebook format by Amulet Books (an Imprint of Abrams) and as an audiobook by Recorded Books. |
THE LAST HUMAN - Now in paperback!
|
Hey, remember The Last Human? My previous middle grade novel? The one that's currently being developed as a major motion picture by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (The Lego Move, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse), Henry Gayden (Shazam!) and Sony Pictures? That's been translated into 22 languages? That Booklist called a "tech-fueled friendship adventure"?
Well, now you can get The Last Human in paperback! Finally! If you've been holding out for a more affordable (and bendable!) option, the wait is over! You can get the paperback edition--and all other editions--wherever books are sold. |
THE LAST HUMAN MOVIE
I'm so excited to announce that my upcoming novel, THE LAST HUMAN, is being developed as a film with Sony Pictures! And it gets better. Because the movie is going to be directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, the brilliant minds behind Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, The Lego Movie and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The script is being written by Henry Gayden, the writer of SHAZAM!
This is just the beginning. The film isn't a sure thing yet. But it's definitely an exciting possibility. And I'm incredibly excited to be working with so many amazing filmmakers toward bringing THE LAST HUMAN to the big screen!
