Amulet Books

From PW: “Aidan Chambers’s Dance Sequence, six nov­els with shared themes (though not char­ac­ters) debuted 30 years ago with the pub­li­ca­tion of Break­time. This month, Amulet Books is releas­ing paper­back reis­sues of this young adult novel, as well as the sec­ond install­ment, Dance on My Grave. The pub­lisher will reis­sue the third and fourth books, Now I Know and The Toll Bridge, in spring 2009.”

Cham­bers’ early work was the topic of my dis­ser­ta­tion. I’m thrilled to
see those books come back into print in the US. Dance on My Grave and Break­time remain my favorites.  Get your hands on these, folks. The Dance sequence may be the finest series of nov­els ever writ­ten for young adults.
