Many of you know that I’m working on something new. I’m incredibly excited about Kensy and Max and their first book will be hitting the shops in March next year. Don’t worry – there will be more Alice-Miranda and Clementine Rose books as well. It’s just that Kensy and Max have been swirling around in my head for a really long time now and they have become a little bit bossy – their story simply needs to be told! The first book is called Breaking News – and there is action aplenty, mysteries to solve and fabulous characters to meet. Just wait until you become acquainted with some of their teachers!
If you want to be the first to see what Kensy and Max look like, you need to be signed up for my newsletter. It’s easy to do – just go to the homepage of the website and click in the sun on the top right-hand corner and you’ll be directed to the sign-up space. It costs NOTHING and every month you get a newsletter with lots of news and activities and there’s always a competition too. In fact, this month’s competition is dead easy – you just have to get a friend to sign up to the newsletter and you’ll go into the draw for great prizes. I’ve also extended the August dress up competition until the end of September so if you want to be involved you’ve still got a few more days yet.
I aim to have the newsletter out in the first week of the month (sometimes that’s tricky due to touring but I do my best!).
So if you want to be among the first to meet Kensy and Max – sign up to that newsletter now! In the meantime, here’s a little teaser!
Great really enjoyed it. It also helped with my homework.
I’m not sure what you mean Lauren but glad to be of help whenever I can 🙂
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Don’t worry I am confused too?!
Dear Tamara B,
I think that what you said was mean and it was cyberbullying. You will leave a digital footprint and your comment will stay there forever. I think to make it fair you should say sorry to her. I am not trying to be mean. She is not lying, I am sure Lauren is not lying. Maybe she ment the article or compitition helped her-sorry Lauren if you are reading this. I think I might be wrong but I’m making predictions-and not the book. Kensy and Max-Breaking News is coming out next year and I know there is no way she could’ve time travel or something but perhaps you could say it in a kinder way.
Mandy
Hi Mandy,
Thank you for being a good friend to Tamara – did you see that she apologised? I think perhaps Lauren meant I helped her with a school project by telling her what I was working on next. I love the way you girls look out for each other and that’s so important. Kindness rules!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Sorry Lauren it’s just that it sounded like that I was mean to judge so quickly.
Please forgive me and thanks mandy
That was really good of you to apologise Tamara. I didn’t understand what Lauren meant either but I’m sure she wasn’t trying to imply that she had read the new book. Perhaps she was doing an assignment and wanted to write about what I was working on. Thanks for being kind. That’s very Alice-Miranda :).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
I can’t wait to read it. I recently purchased Alice-Miranda in Hollywood and I love it!!!
Thankyou Sara! I am so glad that you love it.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hey jacqueline. I cannot wait for the October newsletter.
P.S. When / can you you do a book signing in Ipswich or brisbane?
Hi Claire,
Have you read the newsletter yet? I sent it yesterday. I’m dying to know what everyone thinks of Kensy and Max!
I’m not sure when I’ll be back in Brisbane or Ipswich but I suspect early next year.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hello Jacqueline Harvey ,
I am such a fan of yours !!
Thank you! It is greatly appreciated.
squeak! so exited for the new series! what sort of level reading will the series be at? e.g alice miranda is a bit harder where as clemmie is easier
just wanted 2 know
regards, jaida
Hi Jaida,
It will be more for Alice-Miranda and possibly even a little bit older.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Can’t wait to see 🙂
Wow so excited! Can’t wait!
Same here!
Dear Jacqueline Harvey,
What ages is the series meant to be for?
From Grace
Probably 8-12 year olds, if it’s similar to Alice Miranda, but probably 7-10 year olds if its similar to Clementine Rose. It doesnt matter though because I am 11 and I still read both the series
Hi Jemma,
Kensy and Max is more for the Alice-Miranda and perhaps even a little older audience.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Wow I am super excited!! I will be first in line to get it! Thankyou Jaqueline harvey for being such an inspiring author! I love all your books, especially Alice-Miranda. I cant wait for Kensy and Max to come out!
Have you seen the characters in this month’s newsletter? I’d love to know what you think!
When is the Alice Miranda to show coming out for Australia?
What there is a show?
Cool!
Grace
I’m not sure Lilly – it takes a long time for these things to happen but I will share news when I can.
I mean tv show
Dear Jacqueline,
Exciting, Exciting, Exciting and Exciting.
Can’t wait, Can’t wait and Can’t wait.
Yes, I agree 🙂
If only I had a twin….
Your books are amazing, and I love the sound of Kensy and Max. Cant wait
Great!
I ❤ your books!
(BIGGEST fan! )
I bought Alice Miranda takes the lead. I cannot believe Sloane would do that. Alice Miranda at Holiday is getting sent over and then I’ll only have to read Alice Miranda at Sea.!!!!!!!!!!
Cool! I know – Sloane – urgh right. But she does get a lot better and I really love her now 🙂
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
