Feeling like you just can’t wait for Marissa Myer’s newest book in the popular Lunar Chronicles series, about a world in which cyborgs and humans coexist? Fairest, the story of evil Queen Levana, is set for release on January 27, 2015. Until then, you can participate in Macmillan’s promotions for the upcoming novel which begin on November 17, at which point several characters from the books will pop up in ten cities across the nation handing out chapters from Cinder, the first book in the series. On December 1, the redesigned website for the series will be unveiled – with users able to unlock material related to Fairest by using the hashtag #cyborgmonday. The website will also be hosting a competition, judged by Meyer, where fans can create a portrait of Queen Levana based on how they see her. The winner will be given a trip to Meyer’s home town of Tacoma, Washington to attend the Fairest Launch party which will take place on January 27. A picture taking app will also be available that fans can use to “glamour” themselves and share their image on the website and social media. So, Lunar Chronicles fans, mark your calendars as you prepare for the holiday season! For those new to the series, there is still plenty of time to catch up over the break and before Fairest is released. The series’ first three books: Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress are all available for checkout in the school library located in the basement of McLure. Also, Fairest is available for pre-order here.
