I almost never make it onto this platform, so this is a wee bit belated: BEHOLD, A NEW MG HORROR BOOK! 🔥
Merry House by Alder Van Otterloo, Imprint: Holiday House Author of THE BEAUTIFUL SOMETHING ELSE Alder Van Otterloo's MERRY HOUSE, in which siblings' attempts to escape their estranged father's transphobia and ableism land them in a sleepaway camp for troubled youths, a deceptively idyllic seaside mansion harboring a terrible secret: the house is alive and hungry, to Kade Dishmon at Holiday House, for publication in 2027, by Sheyla Knigge at High Line Literary Collective (world).

For the uninitiated, here are my published queer middle grade books! (This is mostly a friendly connection and updates account; keep an eye out for announcements!)
Cover of the book The Beautiful Something Else, with a silver Washington State Book Awards Finalist sticker in the bottom righthand corner A brightly colored book covered depicting two young witches, one with a wand and grimoire in hand, and another with multi-colored hair, glowing hands, and a pet raccoon A photo of two worried-looking young queer people holding hands and flashlights in a forest full of ghosts, with the yellow title A TOUCH OF RUCKUS
