I’m delighted to be able to reveal the front cover of the German edition of Invisible Fiends: Mr Mumbles. Published in February by Gulliver, an imprint of Beltz & Gelberg, the book is going to look like this…

Nice, eh? It takes its inspiration from the UK edition and gives it a twist. I think I still prefer the original cover, but that could be because I love the work of the artist, Jonny Duddle. This one ramps up the realism in the artwork, which may be because it’s being targeted at an older age group in Germany. Whichever you prefer, I’m sure you’ll agree that both covers look fab.

As a special treat for any German speakers reading the blog, if you scoot along to this page you can see the listing on the Beltz & Gelberg site. Scroll down to the bottom and you can click through to read an extract from the book – in German, of course.

For those of you who don’t speak German (me included), have no fear – an English extract will be coming along sooner than you think…
