Whalen Turner added: "The books of the Queen’s Thief have made their way into the UK market over the years thanks to the hard work of fans eager to share them. To say I love these books would be an understatement: they are a piece of me, and I am over the moon to be bringing them to the UK next year.’ Her world absorbs you, her writing compels you, her characters are second-to-none. Megan Whalen Turner writes deft, engaging, incredibly clever fantasies that surprise you over and over again and are even better on the second, third, or even tenth re-read. Powell said: "Since I first read The Thief over 10 years ago, it has remained firmly embedded in my heart. The Thief has been optioned by Disney and is in development for Disney+, with Brian Duffield on board to write the adaptation and Jim Whitaker of Whitaker Entertainment producing. The Thief is described by Hodder & Stoughton as a "classic in young adult fantasy literature" and follows the exploits of the Queen’s Thief, Eugenides, after he is sent on a near impossible quest to steal a legendary object and is thrown into the centre of political machinations, deception and danger The first book in the series was published in 1996 in the US and the first of the new paperback editions, The Thief, will publish in the UK in May 2022.
Senior commissioning editor Molly Powell bought UK and Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, from Jane Putch at Eyebait Management. Hodder & Stoughton has signed up the award-winning The Queen’s Thief series from author Megan Whalen Turner and will publish new paperback editions of the series in the UK.
