Ahoy, readers! Feast your eyes on the cover of Cottager Kara LaReau's hilarious new middle grade novel, illustrated by Jen Hill! Sailing into bookstores January 10, 2017 . . .
In the spirit of A Series of Unfortunate Events and the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, The Unintentional Adventures of the Bland Sisters: The Jolly Regina will
 captivate middle-grade readers looking for humor, hijinks, and a 
swashbuckling good time. Meet Jaundice and Kale Bland, two sisters who 
avoid excitement at any cost. Together, they patiently await the return 
of their parents, who left on an errand years ago and have never 
returned.
One
 day, the Bland sisters are kidnapped by an all-female band of pirates. 
They’re unwillingly swept into a high-seas romp that might just lead to 
solving the mystery of what happened to their parents. With whimsical 
illustrations and Roald Dahl–esque wit, The Unintentional Adventures of the Bland Sisters: The Jolly Regina is
 the visually stunning, laugh-out-loud funny start to a new series for 
readers who are looking for an anything-but-bland adventure.
Be
 sure to plunder the Abrams booth and pick up this booty-ful galley at 
BEA (booth 1801), ALA (booth 1226), and ILA (booth 2307), or check it out via NetGalley!
