Princess Pony Says Nay by Jordan Morris, illus. by Charlie Mylie ($18.99, hardcover, September 1, 2026)

Does Princess Pony want...Fancy food? NAY. A sparkling gown? NAY. A big parade? NAY NAY NAY. In a kingdom of horses, in a land far away, Princess Pony’s coronation is a grand, special day! Now King High Horse’s plans can get carried away, so he might be surprised when the princess says—“NAY!” A hilarious picture book and charming read-aloud about a child’s desire for quality play time with her dad over any royal horsey delights.

 

Firstborn by M.J. Hastings ($19.99, hardcover, September 1, 2026)

This first title in a dystopian fantasy trilogy was acquired in a competitive, multi-house auction. Government surveillance, family separation, a forced birthing program, epic battles of tactical magic, and fear-mongering war propaganda all reign large in this saga that combines awe-inspiring fantasy with power struggles of the modern world. Readers should prepare for brilliant world-building, romance, and shocking plot twists.

A groundbreaking hero’s journey from National Book Award and Newbery Honor winner Daniel Nayeri!
