I know you’ve been talking about writing a follow up for years but you’ve been focusing on other things, and I understand that. I love how you don’t shy away from relatively complex storylines and vocabulary my middle school self only understood from the context. These books defined my childhood and your style of writing kept me interested in reading for years.

I would read and re-read The Heroes Guide series from 4th grade to 7th grade. It made me think of this website for some reason. The book I ended up writing was terrible, but the feeling of validation that came with getting advice from a real author was something that I will always cherish, and the knowledge that someone who could weave stories that made me laugh and that truly kept me engaged kept me writing I am now writing a new novel that is much better than that first attempt, and I recently hit 100 pages.
I will always remember when I asked you for advice on the books I was writing and you replied encouragingly. However, I especially want to thank you for almost always replying to my comments when I posted them it made me feel seen and appreciated. I first launched myself into the world of the Thirteen Kingdoms when I was in the 6th grade or so, and it’s been years since then (I used to frequent this site on an old family computer leaving comments under ridiculous fake names.)I want to thank you for writing such an amazing and funny series of books for me to lose myself in and for making such beautifully real characters- so much so that one of them became my dog’s namesake. I’d like you as an author to know that your books perhaps defined my middle grade years. “With its gender-bending stereotypes and oodles of action, this addition will be welcomed by fans of the series.” - School Library Journal “Healy’s latest foray into the Thirteen Kingdoms has more than the usual amount of wit, hijinks, princes, princesses and adventures.” - Huffington Post “Part screwball comedy, part sly wit, and all fun.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Fans won’t want the fun to end, happily ever after or otherwise.” - Booklist
“As funny as the previous two Hero’s Guide titles, as hyper as a child after ingesting a pint of sugar, and as long as a phone book (whatever that is). Giant mongooses will be battled, brain-melting beetles will be run from, dozens of feathers will be plucked, and, perhaps, kingdoms will finally be saved, now and forever. Now they’re on the run in a desperate attempt to clear their names.Īlong the way, however, they discover that Briar’s murder is just one part of a nefarious plot to take control of all thirteen kingdoms-a plot that will lead them across the ocean, through a scorching desert, and to the doorstep of an eerily familiar fortress for a final showdown with an eerily familiar enemy.Ĭhristopher Healy returns once again to the fairy-tale world he created for the last installment in his epically humorous history. Posters plastered across the thirteen kingdoms are saying that Briar Rose has been murdered-and the four Princes Charming are the prime suspects, along with Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Lila. You think you know those guys pretty well by now, don’t you? Well, think again. (April 2014: Walden Pond Press/HarperCollins)
