The news is out! @janeenhayat.bsky.social's middle grade debut, Evie and Maryam's Family Tree, will be published by Guppy on 8 May! It's a charming charming story full of code-breaking intrigue, forgotten family secrets, and the drama of pre-teen friendships. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/evie...

Guppy Books has signed a debut middle grade novel from Janeen Hayat, winner of the publisher's 2023 open submission competition. Bella Pearson, publisher, bought world rights from Paula Weiman at the Ash Literary Agency, for publication on 8 May.
Evie and Maryam's Family Tree, inspired by Hayat's research into her family history, focuses on two classmates who sit on the same table at school - but that is all they have in common. Evie's friendship group
are cool and outgoing, whereas Maryam is quiet, hard-working, and seems to prefer her own company.
When the two are reluctantly paired for a school project - researching their family background - the girls discover that each has a copy of a mysterious folder called 'Family Recipes', written in a language neither
understands.
Pearson said: "I am so excited to be publishing Janeen's debut novel - she is such a wonderful writer and this story of two girls discovering the extraordinary coincidence of their joint family history is full of depth, wisdom and mystery - a unanimous winner in the eyes of the judges of the Guppy open submission competition, and a writer to watch out for!"

There are also soon to be two new co-editions of Grandad's Camper: Opa's Camper, published in German by Kindermann Verlag; and Antur Taid a Fi, published in Welsh by @graffegbooks.bsky.social. Pre-order the latter here: www.waterstones.com/book/antur-t...

An image of the German co-edition of Harry Woodgate's book 'Grandad's Camper', published as 'Opa's Camper' by Kindermann Verlag. The book cover features the title in fuschia pink text above a pink and cream coloured campervan driving through a countryside landscape illustrated using digital collage and mixed media. In the distance is a sun rising over the horizon, and grey roads winding over green hills. The camper van has two yellow headlights set either side of a grey spare tire mounted to the front of the vehicle, in which sit the author and publisher name. Inside, Grandad (old, white, with grey hair and green glasses, wearing a green sweater vest and blue shirt with checked collar) is driving. Milly (5-7yrs old, brown skin, dark brown curly hair, wearing a beige and pink striped short sleeve top and holding a map) sits in the passenger seat. In between them is Gilbert, Grandad's apricot coloured dog. From the roof of the van flies a Pride flag.

Merrily You, my sweet and spicy little Christmas novella is out TODAY! Watch Holiday and Danny lie to themselves about being completely in love with each other 😂 www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3FKVFJC

Ebook cover of Merrily You by Chelsea M Cameron

Holiday: If there’s one thing I can count on, it’s my family to be all in my business. No matter how many times I explain boundaries and privacy, they’re just not getting the memo, especially when it comes to my relationships. For years they’ve been asking me why I don’t date my best friend and roommate, Daniella. No matter how many times I say the words “we’re friends,” they’re not getting it.

Daniella: I love my family. I really do. But they will NOT leave me alone about being single. Every time I show up, they’re throwing someone new at me or making pointed comments about Holiday that aren’t subtle at all. Since murder isn’t an option, I’m going to need another idea.

Holiday: With my family Christmas celebration coming up, I honestly think about cancelling, but then I have a better idea. Since everyone already believes that I’m secretly in love with Danny, why not just go with it? We’ve known each other for so long, this will be easy to pull off.

Daniella: Leave it to Holiday to come up with an absolutely wild, but completely brilliant, plan to get our families off our backs. The two of us are so comfortable that pretending to date shouldn’t be that different than being besties. And then…it is. Very, very different.
