📕 "There's Something Odd About the Babysitter" - Coming Summer 2025!

It's PW official!!

I am SO THRILLED to share this news!

Now’s a great time to mark your 2025 calendar with its first non-birthday-related entry: “Buy There’s Something Odd About the Babysitter wherever books are sold.” 🥳 By coincidence, my oldest son will also be starting college in fall 2025, so honestly, the more copies, the better. 😂

Unending gratitude to my editor, Kat Brzozowski, Feiwel & Friends at Macmillan, my intrepid agent Sean McCarthy, and my spirit twin John Ledda (w/ his agent, Ana Crespo). I hope kids laugh hard--and fall hard--for this story!

There are so many others to thank, too! See the long lists on my Twitter announcement or Instagram announcement.

Now, the question no one is asking: why raccoons? I want to share the incredibly scientific reasons why I love trash pandas.

I cannot find an attribution for this scientific research. Which seems appropriate, given how rigorous it obviously is. Instead, I ask: what part of this do we not know to be fact?

I’ll update this post with more (especially all the thank yous—there are so many!) later, but I am just going to celebrate for a bit first!

Yours, wild with excitement,

Elayne
