The publisher acquired the world rights to the book in a two-book deal from Gleam Futures, meaning a second book will also be released in the future.
Zoe commented: “Social media is taking over but books, to me, are still so special and so important. Nothing beats the smell of an actual book”.
Penguin Children’s has sold the US and Canadian rights to Atria Books, which will publish both books under the Keywords Press brand.
