Get ready for The Marvels, coming to a city near you

Last week, we told you about the beautiful book trailer for The Marvels. Now, we’re continuing The Marvels mania with a little more on what’s (literally) in store for the fall season.

The Marvels, the newest masterpiece from Brian Selznick, #1 New York Times bestseller and Caldecott Medalist for The Invention of Hugo Cabret, releases into bookstores across the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom on September 15. But the book is not the only thing headed into bookstores on September 15 – the author is, too!

Brian Selznick is embarking on a massive tour this fall with 30+ stops in the US, UK, and Canada to celebrate the release of The Marvels.

 But this is no ordinary book tour. Because The Marvels is partly set in a theater, many bookstores are hosting their events in historic theaters! Get ready for a marvel-ous experience. Check out the list of tour dates and cities for The Marvels here.

You can also get behind-the-scenes background info on The Marvels, including information on the Royal Haymarket Theatre—the theater that inspired the book—from Brian Selznick’s own website.

Stay tuned for more exciting Marvels news throughout the fall!
