Aaron Blabey, Popular Kids Author Behind ‘The Bad Guys’, Sets Two New Book Series With Macmillan
Aaron Blabey, bestselling kids author behind 'The Bad Guys', has signed an eight-figure deal with Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group for two new series.
It follows a crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws, struggling to find acceptance in their newly minted lives as Good Guys, who are pulled out of retirement and forced to do one last job. This deep knowing shows up in his books’ every hilarious joke; in every complicated character with a wish just outside their reach; and in every illustration and plot twist, so exciting they leap right off the page and into young readers’ hearts and minds,” said Jen Besser, President and Publisher, MCPG. Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group is comprised of eleven imprints including Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers, Henry Holt Books for Young Readers, Odd Dot and more with authors including Madeleine L’Engle, Natalie Babbitt, Leigh Bardugo, Gene Luen Yang, Tomi Adeyemi, Marissa Meyer, Eric Carle, Nick Bruel, Loren Long, Angeline Boulley, Nancy Tillman, John Patrick Green, George M. Johnson and Eoin Colfer.
