I wish they'd just release more books... it would be awesome to have a whole stack to read by summer. Summer reading is the best!

The Merchant of Death Graphic Novel by D.J. MacHale and Carla Speed McNeil will be coming out this May. It's just like the book, but, with... pictures!  =D

If you're a fan of Carolyn Meyer's books, you'll love In Mozart's Shadow: His Sister's Story coming out this June. Nannerl Mozart was a musical prodigy who seemed to have a brilliant future. But once her younger brother, Wolfgang, began composing symphonies at the age of five, her career and talents were utterly eclipsed. Here, at last, is Nannerl's heart-wrenching tale. It's the story of her undying passion for music; her relationship with her "miracle boy" brother; and her life as the "other Mozart," the one forgotten by history.

Warriors: Cats on the Clans by Erin Hunter will also be out this June. Other than the title, there is not much more info on it as of yet.
