Dear Friends and Fans of Greenlight,
We love being a place where you discover books -- whether it's the latest release from your favorite author, a fresh perspective on a compelling topic, or an exciting brand-new talent. There's nothing like browsing our shelves and displays for finding books -- but now we're offering you a way to discover books before they're published.
Greenlight invites you to preorder new book titles being published in the coming months. We've highlighted some of the books we're most excited about here, along with some special offers for those who preorder.
Placing a preorder on our website is just like making any other purchase, and we'll contact you on the publication date so you can pick up your book in our stores (or have it shipped to you). Bonus: preordering a book by an author you love even has the potential to help their career as the buzz builds!
Have questions about preorders, or want to know when a title you're anticipating will be available? Email orders@greenlightbookstore.com for help. We hope you enjoy this sneak peek into what's coming up, and find some great books to look forward to!
Best,

Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal
Get ready for a whole new look into Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Introducing the newest Wimpy Kid author-Rowley Jefferson! Rowley's best friend Greg Heffley has been chronicling his middle-school years in thirteen
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
journals . . . and counting. But it's finally time for readers to hear directly from Rowley in a journal of his own. In
Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid
, Rowley writes about his experiences and agrees to play the role of biographer for Greg along the way. (After all, one day Greg will be rich and famous, and everyone will want to know his life's story.) But Rowley is a poor choice for the job, and his "biography" of Greg is a hilarious mess.
Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal
offers readers a new way to look at the Wimpy world-one fans won't want to miss!
Bonus offer: Preordered copies will be SIGNED by Jeff Kinney! (No personalization available.)

With the Fire on High
By Elizabeth Acevedo
Publication date: May 7
 From the New York Times bestselling author of the National Book Award longlist title The Poet X comes a dazzling novel in prose about a girl with talent, pride, and a drive to feed the soul that keeps her fire burning bright.
Ever since she got pregnant freshman year, Emoni Santiago's life has been about making the tough decisions-doing what has to be done for her daughter and her
abuela
. The one place she can let all that go is in the kitchen, where she adds a little something magical to everything she cooks, turning her food into straight-up goodness.
Even though she dreams of working as a chef after she graduates, Emoni knows that it's not worth her time to pursue the impossible. Yet despite the rules she thinks she has to play by, once Emoni starts cooking, her only choice is to let her talent break free.

Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder
By John Waters
Publication date: May 21
No one knows more about everything -especially everything rude, clever, and offensively compelling - than John Waters. The man in the pencil-thin mustache, auteur of the transgressive movie classics, is one of the world's great sophisticates, and in
Mr. Know-It-All he serves it up raw: how to fail upward in Hollywood; how to develop musical taste from Nervous Norvus to Maria Callas; how to build a home so ugly and trendy that no one but you would dare live in it; more important, how to tell someone you love them without emotional risk; and yes, how to cheat death itself.
Studded with cameos of Waters's stars and illustrated with unseen photos from Waters's personal collection,
Mr. Know-It-All
is Waters's most hypnotically readable, upsetting, revelatory book - another instant Waters classic.
Bonus offer: Preordered copies will be SIGNED by John Waters! Request personalization at checkout!
Want to meet the author in person? Instead of preordering,
buy a ticket to our book event with John Waters on May 22! (Book included with ticket.)
