Last book in Garth Nix series/ latest Cherub/Ranger's Apprentice 9

The other day a student asked when the last book would be out in the Garth Nix series that begins with Mister Monday.  According to my brilliant local bookshop, February 2010.  So the kidlets will have to hold their breath for a wee while longer.

Interesting to see that the latest book in the Cherub series (by Robert Muchamore) has been issued in hardback first.  OK for libraries, in terms of durability (if they've made it that far in the series, the readers aren't going to be put off by a hardback) but disappointing in terms of limiting its availability/affordability to kids.  
.
Another book on my reservations/prepublication list is the ninth book in the Ranger's Apprentice series - bunch of keen readers waiting for that one, called Halt's Peril.  Out in early November, much to their delight.

Cheers
