Two recent deals from Publishers Weekly.

This YA deal you've probably already seen and barfed over, but just in case you haven't, I'm sharing it:

Bestselling authors James Frey and Nils Johnson-Shelton's ENDGAME: THE CALLING, the first in a trilogy reported to be about a world in which 12 bloodlines each produce a teen warrior champion and there is a fight to eliminate all the bloodlines except for the winners which will feature an interactive puzzle comprised of clues and riddles throughout the text and a major prize for each book in the series; the deal also includes fifteen original e-book novellas, YouTube videos, search and image results, mapping coordinates, social media, and interactive gaming, to Tara Weikum at Harper Children's in the US and Rachel Denwood at Harper Children's UK in association with Full Fathom Five, and Google's Niantic Labs, to be published October 7, 2014, by Eric Simonoff and Simon Trewin at William Morris Endeavor and David Krintzman of Morris Yorn (World English).

This middle grade deal, meanwhile, SOUNDS FABULOUS:

Jo Whittemore's CONFIDENTIALLY YOURS, about a group of sixth-graders who collaborate on an advice column and resolve all the problems of their school one anonymous letter at a time, to Andrea Martin at Harper Children's, in a six-book deal, by Jennifer Laughran at Andrea Brown Literary Agency.
