Fischer Sauerländer has acquired the German rights to The Skeleton by Malin Klingenberg & Maria Sann (ill.)
The Skeleton by Malin Klingenberg & Maria Sann (ill.) continues to charm international publishers: Fischer Sauerländer has acquired the German rights, marking the fourth foreign deal for this title.
The Skeleton tells the story of Teo, a young boy who is very afraid of skeletons and runs into one at a Halloween party. As a result, he runs in the opposite direction and falls, only to end up in hospital with a broken bone and the horrible news that there is a skeleton inside of him too. It is the premise of a witty, funny story about overcoming fears, growing up, and recovering from injuries.
Malin Klingenberg is an established Swedish-speaking Finnish authors, whose work has travelled to several territories. Illustrator Maria Sann made her debut in 2019 and has been receiving glowing reviews for her work since. This is their second collaboration.
The Skeleton has also been sold for Latvian, Korean and World Dutch, and it is published in Finland by Schildts & Söderströms.
Congratulations to the authors and the publisher!
