It took some time. It took a ton of brainstorming and many emails between me and my editor (and between my editor and the Sales department and other HarperCollins powers-that-be that need to approve things). But we finally FINALLY have a title.
Ready for it?
Ready?
Ashley in Neverland

Coming to stores near you in Fall 2011
Wow, it looks so beautiful. And official.
I'm not totally sure if I'm allowed to mention this, but you might be curious about the previous incarnations:
When I started the project last year, the placeholder title was Return to Neverland. It was perfect...except for just one important thing: it was already taken. By a Disney sequel.
This spring, my editor and I agreed on Peter Pan & Me, which was rejected, because it sounded too young. (There's also a song by the same name.)
But I'm very happy with this new title. It's so pretty. I can't wait to see it in type. :-P
Let's look at it just one more time:
Ashley in Neverland
Happy sigh.
