Today we’re thrilled to be revealing the title and cover for the third and final book in Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Children of Exile series.

In case you’re unfamiliar with this middle grade sci-fi series, Children of Exile follows twelve-year-old Rosi:

Rosi must decide what she’s willing to risk to save her family—and maybe even all of humanity—in the thrilling first novel of a new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author, Margaret Peterson Haddix.

For the past twelve years, adults called “Freds” have raised Rosi, her younger brother Bobo, and the other children of their town, saying it is too dangerous for them to stay with their parents, but now they are all being sent back. Since Rosi is the oldest, all the younger kids are looking to her with questions she doesn’t have the answers to. She’d always trusted the Freds completely, but now she’s not so sure.

And their home is nothing like she’d expected, like nothing the Freds had prepared them for. Will Rosi and the other kids be able to adjust to their new reality?

The second book, Children of Refuge, follows Edwy, a friend of Rosi:

After Edwy is smuggled off to Refuge City to stay with his brother and sister, Rosi, Bobo, and Cana are stuck alone—and in danger—in Cursed Town in the thrilling follow-up to Children of Exile from New York Times bestselling author, Margaret Peterson Haddix.

It’s been barely a day since Edwy left Fredtown to be with his parents and, already, he is being sent away. He’s smuggled off to boarding school in Refuge City, where he will be with his brother and sister, who don’t even like him very much. The boarding school is nothing like the school that he knew, there’s no one around looking up to him now, and he’s still not allowed to ask questions!

Alone and confused, Edwy seeks out other children brought back from Fredtown and soon discovers that Rosi and the others—still stuck in the Cursed Town—might be in danger. Can Edwy find his way back to his friends before it’s too late?

And without further ado, let us share the title and incredible cover for the third book in the series… CHILDREN OF JUBILEE!

Rosi, Edwy, and their friends and siblings managed to outsmart the cruel Enforcers out in the desert, but now the Enforcers have taken over Refuge City, and the kids wonder how long they can hide. After a brave attempt to help others in peril, five of the kids are captured and taken to work as slave laborers on an alien planet. Weak and hungry, none of them are certain they will make it out alive. Edwy’s tech-savvy sister, Kiandra, has always been the one who could find a solution to any problem. But now, in this jaw-dropping finale of the Children of Exile series by New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, Kiandra realizes that she does not have the answers, and they all may need to rely on an alien’s offer of friendship if they—or any humans–are to survive.

Children of Jubilee will be available on November 6, 2018!
