Everything With Words has landed The Tall Man, a "thrilling time-bend" middle-grade novel from Mary Cathleen Brown.
Editor Mikka Haugaard acquired world rights directly from the author. The book will be published in September 2024.
Cathleen Brown commented: "I’ve long been fascinated by the enigma of time, and 12-year-old Tom’s struggle to rescue a boy imprisoned 200 years earlier by the infamous Tall Man threw up paradoxes which tied my brain in knots.
"How do you alter something that’s already happened? What if you’ve already done the things you’re about to do? I wanted my space-loving dreamer, Tom, to confront these questions too while battling mounting dangers, not least that of the Tall Man, in whose monstrousness I discovered strange pathetic streaks, and whose house of lost ceilings I found to be taking on an unpredictable life of its own."
