Here's the cover for the new Ruby Oliver novel: The Boy Book.
It was designed by Angela Carlino, who did The Boyfriend List and Fly on the Wall.
I am so excited!
Yes, there are Penguins!
The book comes out in October 2006. And you can read a preview, here.

Yes, I am all over that penguin. She looks so serious and full of hope! The penguins in the book are live penguins, though, not toys.
Thanks, Corinne, Marlies, Jess and Mary, for the nice words; Jess, if you liked Boyfriend List, can I suggest

I wonder if the Angela Carlino that designed the cover for your book is originally from Rutherford, NJ? If so, and you can contact her, please tell her Karl says hello and I am so happy she is doing so well in her career!

Hi E.,
I just put the final dot on the french version of The Boyfriend List.
I will miss Ruby. Unlike her, I'm quite sad to be out of the Tate universe.
Anyway, thank you very much for these two months back in a realistic and moving teenage world.
