LULU & MILAGRO'S SEARCH FOR CLAIRTY...
Alessandra Balzer at Balzer + Bray has acquired, at auction, Lulu & Milagro's Search for Clarity, a debut YA novel by Angela Velez. Pitched as a Latinx Booksmart, it follows two sisters—one vying for a prestigious internship and the other reeling from a dramatic breakup—as they become begrudging partners on their school's cross-country field trip to college campuses. Over the course of one week, they'll uncover family secrets, confront weighty expectations for their futures, and maybe even discover the true meaning of sisterhood. Publication is set for winter 2022; Taylor Haggerty at Root Literary did the two-book deal for world English rights.
