Hi, everyone! Today I'm happy to present an interview with Leah Cypess, the author of The Piper’s Promise, which is out now! Her next book, The Last Rose, releases in December.
Would you please tell us a little about your book, The Piper’s Promise?
The Piper's Promise is a sequel to the fairy tale "The Pied Piper." This book is about the Pied Piper's little sister, Clare, who comes to Hamelin after she hears rumors that her brother has kidnapped all the children. Clare loves her brother, who has always protected her, and she knows he couldn't possibly be guilty of such a terrible crime. Or could he? In order to save the children of Hamelin, she will have to face both her brother's secrets and her own...
The Last Rose, the 4th book in the Sisters Ever After series, releases in December. Can you tell us anything about it?
The Last Rose is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, told from the point of view of Beauty's little sister. I'm not going to say too much more about it... yet!
Random Question! What’s your favorite color?
This is an easy one for me! Blue.
If you’re able to talk about it, what are you currently working on?
I can talk about it, but it's a little confusing, because what I'm working on now is Book #6 in the Sisters Ever After series. Random House does things *very* far in advance, and has also accelerated the publication of these books, with the end result that I'm writing Book #6 right after Book #3 came out! So: As you know, Book #4 is going to be a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Book #5 (I might as well tell you!) is going to be a retelling of Rapunzel. And Book #6, which I'm drafting now, is a retelling of The Little Mermaid.
What are some of your favorite MG books you've read recently? And what are some that you're looking forward to reading?
Now this is a hard one! I recently read The Guardian Test by Christina Soontornvat, which is younger MG (ages 8-10, probably), and which I liked a lot -- it's absolutely perfect for its audience. I love how she handles her world-building. I just started Creatures of the In Between by Cindy Lin, which I'm really enjoying so far. As for what's ahead, I am really looking forward to The Museum of Lost & Found by Leila Sales, who is one of my favorite authors. I also really want to find the time to re-read the first 3 books in Jessica Townsend's "Nevermoor" series before the fourth book comes out in October! I have to admit, my prospects don't look great, but I'm going to try.
Thank you so much to Leah Cypess for participating in this event!
