David Yoon’s Frankly in Love has been acquired by Penguin Young Readers. David did the illustrations for Nicola Yoon’s debut novel, Everything, Everything. It was an intense bidding war between 10 publishing houses and Penguin Young Readers won in the end. “G. P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers will publish the book, which was acquired as part of a two-book deal with Yoon for North American rights.” It is expected to be released in the Fall of 2019.
