I've been posting lots about the US release yesterday but the UK release is tomorrow!! Here are the two covers side by side, I love that each version has its own ✨flavor✨
And what an amazing (surreal!!) time it is that my debut novel is being published by both @scholastic and @puffinbooksuk :) I am still floored by this and have been for the past few years tbh..
Obsessed with this window display at @onceuponatimebkstore ahead of this Saturday's event! BIG SPARROW!! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!!
Also just FYI, you can preorder the book in advance (u get swag if you do! Stickers! Art prints!) Link in bio (lmao I've never typed those letters before 😳) and I'll see you guys at the launch Saturday!
My debut novel THE MISSING MAGIC OF SPARROW XIA is being published tomorrow! Unfortunately for the kids, there are no ballrooms at Zenith Academy, but there is magic, and intrigue and best of all, friendship!
SoCal friends! I'm having a book launch at @onceuponatimebkstore in the Glendale/Montrose area on the 9th of May! It's a great way to spend a Saturday! ;) I'll be speaking a little bit about the book and the process there as well, and signed copies of tMMoSX will be available for purchase. I hope to see you there!
The final hardcover (US version) is finally in my hands!! It's been 3 years since I wrote the very first line of this story. She's sooooo pretty I'm obsessed and I can't believe it's almost time for her to go out into the world! Sparrow is out May 5th which is terrifyingly soon eep! 😱
I got to be a guest on the Book Lounge by Libby @libby.app podcast the other day! Thank you Joe for being such a great host! And @sprucetoninn and @katiebernet were so interesting and had so many gems of knowledge to share, I was glad to be in your company!

I'll be at @yallwest for the first time next Saturday and I'm so excited! I'll be on two panels (swipe for info) and I'm really looking forward to meeting people and talking all things books and of course my soon-to-be published debut novel :) See you soon!
Waited for golden hour to take this hehe! This is the paperback version that will be published by Puffin for my readers in the UK, I'm so obsessed with how beautiful everything turned out. She's so pretty I didn't wanna put a caption on the video and block the sparkles!
The Missing Magic of Sparrow Xia is my (!!!) Debut Novel set in a world where kids have magic but adults don't... and it's out May 5th 2026!
