HarperCollins has acquired North American rights to Patrick Ness’s The Rest of Us Just Live Here, a YA novel due out in fall 2015, and a second, stand-alone novel, as yet unscheduled. HarperCollins Children’s Books editorial director Rosemary Brosnan won the book at an auction brokered by Walker Books U.K., which will publish the book there on August 28, 2015.
The Rest of Us Just Live Here will be Ness’s ninth book, and his sixth for young adults. Two of Ness’s books, A Monster Calls and the first book in the Chaos Walking trilogy, The Knife of Never Letting Go, are currently in development as films.
