From a debut picture-book author and a #1 New York Times best-selling illustrator, a wry take on Why did the chicken cross the road? that gives a whole new meaning to the Other Side. Cock-a-doodle-BOO

It's punny. It's spooky. It's a meta picture book that puts a fresh spin on an old joke and elevates chicken comedy to ghastly new levels. A little spring chicken crosses the road but quickly gets flattened under a semitruck. The barnyard beasts who've gone before break the news: now that Chicken's fried--dispatched to the Other Side--Chicken has a job, an unwanted job, as a noisy troublemaking ghost. This fowl may be weak in the beak, but Chicken knows that scaring people isn't nice. There is such a thing as a friendly ghost, after all--isn't there? Loaded with laughs and shivers, this Halloween-ready treat features ghoulishly funny art by the illustrator of the #1 New York Times best-selling Bad Seed series. Let the haunting begin

No chickens were harmed in the making of this book.

The perfect dream-come-true-fairytale!
--Jason June, New York Times bestselling author of Jay's Gay Agenda and Out of the Blue

Effortlessly charming, funny, swoon-worthy, and sincerely moving.
--Julian Winters, award-winning author of Running With Lions

#1 New York Times bestselling author Eric Geron delivers whirlwind wish-fulfillment in this story of a closeted crown prince and an out-and-proud cowboy who discover they were separated at birth.

Edward Dinnissen leads a charmed life. He's the Crown Prince of Canada, gets the royal treatment at his exclusive private school, and resides in a ritzy mansion. He thrives off being the perfect prince as he prepares for the Investiture Ceremony on his eighteenth birthday, the final step in his role as heir--and Canada's future king. But this closeted Crown Prince has just one tiny problem: he's unsure how to tell his parents, his beloved country, and his adoring fans that he's gay.

Billy Boone should be happy with the simple life. His family's ranch is his favorite place in the world, he loves his small town, and his boyfriend is the cutest guy at Little Timber High. So why does it feel like something's still missing? Maybe it has to do with the fact that this out-and-proud cowboy feels destined for something more . . .

When Edward and Billy meet by chance in New York City, they discover that they are long-lost twins, and their lives are forever changed. Together, will these twin princes--twinces--be able to take on high school, coming out, and coronations? Or will this royal reunion quickly become a royal train wreck?

The enchanting cast of characters hooks you into a regal setting full of drama, romance, and intrigue, with relatable underlying journeys of self-love and struggle. --Brian Zepka, author of The Temperature of Me and You
