Leila Sales Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Leila Sales

As a professional novelist, my preferred way to write books is the way Jo writes Little Women: in an unstoppable fit of inspiration represented by a two-minute montage, punctuated not by interruptions, responsibilities, or self-doubt, but only by someone quietly bringing me food.

Out of stock

@Sarah_Nicolas Marit Weisenberg's THIS GOLDEN STATE is a great example of this!

My new middle-grade novel about a group of kids who discover an abandoned museum, THE MUSEUM OF LOST AND FOUND, is coming out from @abramskids on May 16. I'm celebrating with launch parties at @booksmithtweets, @strandbookstore, & @BookPeople. I'd love to see you there! https://t.co/Oc1xyX9isq

Nearly a decade ago, I started working with the brilliant writer @Sa11eGreen on her debut book, HALF BAD. Now, it's getting released as a @netflix series! This trailer is just killer. I'm so excited to watch the whole show! https://t.co/puezPxs0K0

My favorite celebrity memoir is @AnnaKendrick47's SCRAPPY LITTLE NOBODY. It's HILARIOUS. Doesn't matter if you know who Anna Kendrick is; it's just an inherently entertaining book. Anna may be an unusually talented humor writer. And/or she may have had a very good publishing team

@lucyruth The Joan Aiken book reminds me that THE WILLOUGHBYS, by Lois Lowry, is also terrific for 7yos (and delightful for adults too!)
