"Beattie's Book Blog", out of New Zealand, is reporting that young Melbourne author Alexandra Adornetto has landed a six-figure publishing deal in the US for a YA trilogy.
The trilogy centres around three mysterious teens who enrol in a local high school. Nobody knows the truth: that they are angels on a mission to save a world on the brink of destruction. When Bethany, the youngest angel, falls for her classmate Xavier, she faces a frightening decision; will she defy the laws of Heaven by loving him?You might remember that Adornetto made headlines a few years back when she signed a publishing deal with HarperCollins in Australia when she was only 13.
I can see why they'd sign this up -- it's like a four-way tie between Paradise Lost, Clueless, Faust and the entire oeuvre of Stephenie Meyer!
