More news on Neopets books

[Samuel]

 

As we reported around a month ago, we've got more word on the Neopets books in production, with publishing partner HarperCollins.

 

As we already knew, five titles will debut in Fall 2008. What we now know is that these will include two illustrated stories, a puzzle and game book, a how-to-draw book and a guide to the game ('field book'). Each book will come with secret codes, much like the ones that come with current merchendise.

 

Says Susan Katz, president of HarperCollins Children's Books:

"The joining of Neopets and HarperCollins presents the perfect opportunity to extend the imaginative and fantastic virtual world of Neopets into a delightful new series of books. We are excited about embarking with existing fans and new readers on their adventures through Neopia."

 

Whilst Kyra Reppen, general manager and senior vice president of Neopets, said:

"It's exciting to bring Neopets, a digital first brand, to the publishing platform offering our audience new ways to interact with the virtual world, its characters and storylines. Not only will we be expanding the virtual world to include books, but will also include unique connections between the books and the website that unlock special features to further enhance the Neopets experience for readers."

I'm sure that anything that's put in the books will be shared on some forum and then passed along. It's not like you'll have to prove you own the book. Like the scramble in the magazines. Or it might just be rare item codes that come with everything Neo related. It's not going to be that big of a deal I'm sure.
