Coming October 2021: Imaginary
|
I'm thrilled to announce that my next book for young readers will be published on October 12, 2021! Imaginary is the story of a boy and his imaginary friend -- told by the imaginary friend.
With this book, 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 will be published in hardcover and ebook format by Amulet Books (an Imprint of Abrams) and as an audiobook by Recorded Books. |

Humans went extinct 30 years ago.
Humorous, action-packed, and poignant, The Last Human tells a story about friendship, technology, and challenging the status quo no matter the consequences. It’s not just about what it means to be a robot—it’s about what it means to be a friend.
The Last Human is being translated into 22 languages and a feature film is in the works from Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) and Sony Pictures. ORDER NOW |
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!
