Please help us congratulate Samantha San Miguel on the sale of SPINELESS!!
From PW Children’s Bookshelf:
Rachael Stein at Sterling Children’s Books has acquired Spineless, a middle grade debut by Samantha San Miguel that follows Algie Emsworth, whose asthma takes him from 19th-century London to a health resort in the jungles of Florida. An aspiring naturalist, Algie longs for adventure—but between a supposed curse, reckless poachers, and the possible discovery of a fabled cryptid, this trip might be more than he bargained for. Publication is planned for spring 2021; Hannah Fergesen at KT Literary negotiated the deal for world English rights.
SPINELESS delves into a world I’ve never seen before in fiction: the sprawling, lush, and, astoundingly, historically accurate grand hotels of Florida’s jungles during the 19th century. The mystery and magic of this world comes through on every page, and I cannot wait for the world to experience the world Samantha has created and the characters who navigate it.
