Alex answered Huzefa's question: Red Rabbit is amazing. Will there be a sequel? I know the whole story is nicely rounded off, but getting another book with Sadie and co would be amazing. Thank you! Yes, there is a sequel to Red Rabbit, and it's coming out in March. It's called Rose of Jericho, and if you liked Red Rabbit I hope you'll preorder it or let your favorite librarian know you want to read it.

Alex’s Quotes

“The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, 'If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.'

Said Diogenes, 'Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king".”
― Anthony de Mello
