EXCLUSIVE: See the cover of Emma Mills’ This Adventure Ends + win a copy of First & Then!
We loved Emma Mills’ debut novel First & Then, and we’re so excited to bring you the cover of her new novel This Adventure Ends!
In This Adventure Ends,
Sloane doesn’t expect to fall in with an intense, all-consuming group
of friends when she moves from New York to Florida. Twins Vera and Gabe
are who Sloane grows cloest to, and when a painting by their late
mother goes missing, Sloane decides to track it down.“One of my favorite books as a kid – and beyond! – was From The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg,” said Mills. “In The Mixed-Up Files,
a young girl named Claudia runs away from home with her little
brother—though Claudia makes the great distinction that it’s not just
about running from somewhere, but running to somewhere. I loved that notion, and I really wanted This Adventure Ends
to capture a family doing much the same—running away, in a sense, but
also running toward something. It’s a bit of a quest story, and a bit of
a love story, though not just romantic love. There’s the love between a
father and daughter, between siblings, between best friends. It was a
ton of fun to write, and I can’t wait to share it with you in the fall.
In the mean time, I’m absolutely thrilled with the cover, and so excited
to show it off!”This Adventure Ends releases from Henry Holt in 2017.
To celebrate the cover reveal, we’re giving away a copy of Mills’ debut First & Then! Devon’s
life takes a turn for the unexpected (and unwanted) after her cousin,
Foster, and her high school’s star running back, Ezra, end up in her
P.E. class and manage to integrate themselves into every other aspect of
her life.I am SO THRILLED with the cover. Thanks to YA Interrobang for the reveal! 🙂
TUESDAY AGAIN? NO PROBLEM

In which I demonstrate my truly terrible Photoshop skills, and also announce SOME NEWS.
I’m going to spoil my own news here presently, so NEWS SPOILER ALERT: I’m so so so so so so (so so so so so) excited to announce that my publisher Henry Holt has picked up two more of my books. The first, which I finished just a couple months ago, is called THIS ADVENTURE ENDS. As I so aptly forgot to mention in the video, it’s another YA contemporary, in which the narrator, Sloane, goes on a quest to track down her new friends’ late mother’s last painting (quite a mouthful!). The second of the two books is being written right now (well, not right now, as I am writing this post right now, but you know what I mean!). I haven’t titled it yet, but I’ll let you know more details as soon as I’ve got them.
THIS ADVENTURE ENDS is slated for winter of 2017, which seems ages away, but in the meantime there are many books to read and dogs to pet and cakes to enjoy etc etc.. I’m so excited to share these books with you (along with FIRST & THEN, which comes out in…. less than two weeks!!!!!!!!), and I’m so grateful for your support in all this.
THANK YOUUU!!!!!!

A new video! In which I take a trip to the comments section, live my Gilmore Girls dreams, and discuss the FIRST & THEN advanced reader copy sweepstakes (which is a thing! That is happening! And I would love it! If you entered! But don’t feel any pressure! Make the choice that feels best for you! I am here to support you in your decisions! And I champion your well being! But if you are interested in reading FIRST & THEN! Maybe put up a tweet with the hashtag #FirstAndThen on twitter! And then you will be entered! Either way! I support you!)
