Holly West at Feiwel and Friends has bought world rights to Mike Thayer's Danny Double Day and a second untitled work in a two-book deal. This middle grade contemporary fantasy follows Danny, who lives every day twice, once as a discard day that no one remembers followed by a sticky day when everything counts. Danny uses his unique ability to help his new friends and take down bullies one day at a time. Publication for the first book is set for spring 2021, with the second following a year later; Lauren Keller Galit at LKG Agency did the deal.
Mike Thayer is a proud father of three, lucky husband of one, passionate author, budding podcaster, lifelong gamer, viral blogger, degreed engineer, decent impressionist, inept hunter, erstwhile jock, and nerd.
He has cast a ring on the slopes of Mt. Doom, eaten a feast at the Green Dragon Inn, cemented Excalibur in a sandstone block, tasted butter beer at Diagon Alley, built a secret door to his storage room, and written a few fantasy books. What else is left, really?
As far as up in the air, dubiously possible new book in the series on good reads synopsis goes this one gives a lot more information then some of the others I’ve seen. It reads like an official court document and I appreciate that even if the book never gets published. Which would be a shame because Danny is such a fun character I’d love to explore more.
