A gripping and deeply moving novel of bravery, friendship and standing up against book banning. Coming in 2024! * Set in a small Southern US town, LULA DEAN'S LITTLE LIBRARY OF BANNED BOOKS is about the town's effort to ban certain books and the uprising against this censorship. Full of timely and important themes, all wrapped up in terrific satirical and genuinely funny storytelling. * An important contribution to the very real fight against book banning. Many high-profile celebs and authors have spoken out against book banning including Bonnie Garmus, Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, Sterling K Brown, Alan Cummings, Pink, and many more. * A classic in the making and would sit alongside novels such as FAHRENHEIT 451 and BRAVE NEW WORLD, as an exploration of political influence on contemporary culture. Additionally, book-themed satire is very much in the public consciousness, thanks to novels like YELLOWFACE and DEATH OF A BOOKSELLER, and the upcoming AMERICAN FICTION film. Opportunity to tap into this audience too.


* Will appeal to those readers who are drawn to books about books. Anticipate high level of bookseller support and social media word-of-mouth based on the themes of book-banning and censorship. * In the novel, the townspeople read the banned books in secret - and this causes an uprising against the fascist mayoral candidate. Some of the banned books in the fictional town include The Diary of Anne Frank, Beloved, Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret and Maus by Art Spiegelman. * THE CHANGE: Almost 30k copies sold across formats. A Bookseller Heatseeker in paperback. A Kindle Top 20 bestseller. An Apple Books audiobook of the week and a Top Five Apple Books bestseller.
