Magic Thief #4!

Every day readers show up at my website using search terms like this:

magic thief 4 by sarah prineas

and

is the fourth magic thief book going to come out?

and

the magic thief book four

and

is there a fourth magic thief???

And AT LAST I can answer that question with a big, giant, happy YES!!!  There is a fourth Magic Thief  book–it is written, and my wonderful publisher, HarperCollins Childrens, is going to publish it.  I’m not absolutely sure yet when it’ll be out–maybe not for a while–but it’s definitely coming.

Here’s what the fourth Magic Thief book is about:

It’s called Chimney Swifts (that’s my title for it; my publisher might change it), and it’s about what happens when a gang of chimney sweeps are going down chimneys in Wellmet to steal locus magicalicus stones.  Everybody suspects Conn, of course, because he is a thief, so he (and the little dragon Pip!) has to join the sweeps to figure out what’s really going on.  What he discovers is that his biggest enemy has returned to Wellmet and is up to no good…

So now I have a question for you, if you’re a Magic Thief reader.

The first book is blue:  The second book is red:And the third book is green:

 

What color do you think the cover of the fourth Magic Thief book should be?  Leave a comment if you think you know.

(Contest ended) Win an ARC of GOBLIN SECRETS (plus extra prize)!

THE CONTEST HAS ENDED!!  Thanks for stopping by–do come again!

 

 

I have hereby given up trying to get my dog into these book pictures.  She’s a Rottie and she’s stubborn, and she just won’t do it.  So it’s paws up for William Alexander’s terrific MG debut Goblin Secrets, coming in March from Margaret McElderry Books/Simon & Schuster.  It recently got a starred review from Kirkus!

You can win a copy!  All you have to do to enter is pick a number between 1 and 225 and post it in the comments. I’ll respond with a line from that page in the book. When we’re all done (12:00 midnight on Thursday), I’ll do a random number generator thingy and that person will be the winner. Be sure to include your email when you leave your comment so I can contact you if you win.

Come back and read all the comments, and you’ll get some awesome sneak peeks!

AND there’s an extra prize!  Last week I got a big box of library edition copies of The Magic Thief.  These are from the third printing, so not collectible, but they’re sturdily-bound hardcovers that one random winner can keep or give to his/her favorite library.

Good luck!
