True, there’s no new J.K. Rowling or Stephenie Meyer title this fall, but the season is by no means lacking in major books. From the return of celebrated characters (in Return to the Hundred Acre Wood and Strega Nona’s Harvest), to adaptations of adult bestsellers that include The Omnivore’s Dilemma and A Short History of Nearly Everything, to new books from Suzanne Collins, Kate DiCamillo, Neil Gaiman, Jeff Kinney and Ann M. Martin, readers of all ages and interests will have plenty of options at their fingertips.

Check out our extensive alphabetical fall listings and look ahead to 2010 with our online-exclusive spring sneak previews section.

Read our news feature about how the lines between marketing channels—from mass merchandisers, to traditional stores and book fairs, to all things digital—are blurring.

See our author profile with YA author Scott Westerfeld, who’s trading dystopian future societies for steampunk and alternate histories.

And take a look at what several big names in children’s books have to say about books that influenced them in their youth, in our excerpt from Anita Silvey’s new book, Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children’s Book.

All that and more, in our fall 2009 children’s announcements issue. Happy reading!
