Cover Crush: Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw

Where my 80s babies/90s kids at? 1993 was an important year – the year we met Jack Skellington and his queen, Sally. The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies EVER and I’ve been screaming for years that we need an NBC book. AND HERE WE ARE GETTING A BOOK ABOUT THE QUEEN HERSELF. Gah, hashtag blessed. Worth the 20-year wait. Luckily we don’t have to wait much longer because it’s out next Tuesday!

Jack and Sally are "truly meant to be" ... or are they?

Sally Skellington is the official, newly-minted Pumpkin Queen after a whirlwind courtship with her true love, Jack, who Sally adores with every inch of her fabric seams -- if only she could say the same for her new role as Queen of Halloween Town. Cast into the spotlight and tasked with all sorts of queenly duties, Sally can't help but wonder if all she's done is trade her captivity under Dr. FInkelstein for a different -- albeit gilded -- cage. But when Sally and Zero accidentally uncover a long-hidden doorway to an ancient realm called Dream Town in the forest Hinterlands, she'll unknowingly set into motion a chain of sinister events that put her future as Pumpkin Queen, and the future of Halloween Town itself, into jeopardy. Can Sally discover what it means to be true to herself and save the town she's learned to call home, or will her future turn into her worst... well, nightmare
