Jeff Rosen‘s much-anticipated middle-grade series debut, Caley Cross and the Haedon Drop (Sept. 8, SparkPress) follows Caley, a 13-year-old girl with strange zombie powers. She soon discovers a secret world, Erinath, where she is Crown Princess and everyone has animal-like powers. But as Caley and her new friends navigate her new school, an evil “Watcher” known as Olpheist is seeking her, anxious to retrieve something that will make him immortal.
This new novel is perfect for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and the Evermoor Chronicles and explores humans’ relationship—and sometimes war—with the natural world (a timely issue for youth today), and the capacity for good and evil in all of us.
