CLARA VOYANT is a coming-of-age story that follows a wannabe journalist and reluctant astrologer, Clara, who is devastated when she gets stuck writing the horoscopes for the school’s newspaper, until she discovers she is clairvoyant.
Amy Tompkins at Transatlantic Agency brokered the deal.
Rachelle Delaney is the author of several middle-grade novels, including The Metro Dogs of Moscow, which was a CLA Book of the Year Honor Book, as well as a finalist for the Silver Birch Award and the Red Cedar Award, among others. Its sequel, The Circus Dogs of Prague, was shortlisted for the Pacific Northwest Library Association Young Reader’s Choice Award. The Bonaventure Adventures won BC’s Chocolate Lily Award in 2019, and Clara Voyant was a Chocolate Lily Award nominee.
Congratulations Rachelle!
