Hello! I have a super exciting, sneaky early peek of the US cover for The House with Chicken Legs Runs Away for you today! It's created by the supremely brilliant Red Nose Studio, and the book publishes in the US with Scholastic in June 2026 (and is, I believe, already available to pre-order). I thought I'd show the cover beside the cover for the first book, The House with Chicken Legs, which is of course also by Red Nose Studio... I love them both! What do you think?

I wrote about my inspirations for this sequel in a previous newsletter which you can read here if you missed it. And for UK readers, there will be a separate cover reveal before too long... the UK edition will have a cover by the wonderful Melissa Castrillon, who created the UK cover for the first book!

That’s all for now... but there is lots going on behind the scenes, so I look forward to sharing more news soon.

Sending you all warmest wishes, until next time,

Sophie 😊
