From Publisher's Weekly:
Stacey Barney of Putnam Books for Young Readers acquired world English rights to Scan and a sequel, Burn, by Walter Jury and S.E. Fine. Jury is a manager/producer for film and television, and Fine is a child psychologist; this is their first collaboration, and it’s a high-action YA thriller about a 16-year-old boy who has been prepared his whole life for "something important," only to discover it means he's one of the last humans left on earth. The first title is due out in 2013. Joanna Volpe of Nancy Coffey Literary & Media Representation did the six-figure deal.
Kathleen Ortiz at Nancy Coffey Literary also did a huge amount of work for this too, and deserves a shout-out!
I've been keeping CIA level mum-ness about this for weeks. As you guys know, Sarah Fine is also a wonderful blogger, child psychologist extraordinaire, and I'm proud to say she's a great friend.
Finally, I can do this officially (cover your ears, if you have delicate drums...)
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Congrats Sarah!

Also, the wonderful Beth Christopher interviewed me for her "On the Trail" series. It was super fun and if you want to see one of my favorite places to hike, check it out!

Congrats Sarah! Great news. It's been a week of great writing news.
That is grand news! I will be looking for her work when it comes out, particularly since I teach middle school English.
What fantastic news! And I know she's had to keep it under wraps for a long time. (Okay, I might have teased a few details out of her a month or so ago.) But now that I know the whole thing, it's a wonder she didn't implode while she had to wait!
Just read her post. Loved reading those words - "I have a book deal" - Awesome!
