yendiI posted a couple of weeks ago about their upcoming reprint of Bone. They've announced more titles.
If you don't want to read the full article, here's the new stuff:
Queen Bee: A funny, but stinging look at the social hive of middle-school girls, at the center of which are rival sisters with super powers. By Chynna Clugston-Major, creator of Blue Monday and Scooter Girl. (and on LJ as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlmod)
The Babysitters Club: Adapted from Ann M. Martin's fabulous bestselling series, America's favorite babysitters are back! Adapted by Raina Telgemeier, a fresh, young talent, who is also creating the warm and sparky illustrations.
High Schoool Confidential (Working title only): A first person account of tumultuous high school friendships - and hip, downtown fashion - by first-time author Aimee Friedman with stylish illustrations by Christine Norrie of Action Girl and Hopeless Savages.
Goosebumps: This bestselling series is a natural for the graphic-novel form. The fear, the fright, and the fun are taken to a scary new level - this time with spine-tingling illustrations by various artists.
“and a science fiction graphic novel adaptation by Jon J Muth... which I'll leave a mystery until we're further along.”
The Clugston-Major and Norrie books are definite buys for the adults in this house. And since Elayna just got into The Babysitters Club this year, I know she'll like that line. Goosebumps is probably going to depend on the artist. And anything Muth is almost a certainty for me.

I am a fan...and her quirky, fun style could make the adventures different and more compelling for older readers. I'm sure knowing her, that's actually a goal even.
