We are really glad to let you know that the Italian rights to Salla Simukka’s bestselling SNOW WHITE TRILOGY have been renewed by Mondadori and relaunch of the series will happen in Italy! As a major international TV show is in the works in Hollywood this is the perfect time to start planning the relaunch of the Snow White series. The deal was closed by Elsa Lindström at Elina Ahlback Literary Agency.
“We are very proud to be the Italian publisher of Salla Simukka’s “Snow White Trilogy”. Being part of this big family is an honor.
We are pretty sure that the tv show will give Salla’s trilogy a new life and make her novels reach a new generation of readers who will fall for Lumikki and her story.
Actually, as all her readers, we cannot wait to see how the atmospheres and the characters of Salla’s novels have been translated into images and sounds. Luckily, we won’t have to wait long…”
– Simona Casonato, Young Adult Editor, Mondadori Italy
In January, Icelandic e-book and audio rights to SNOW WHITE TRILOGY were sold to StorySide.
“The Snow White Trilogy is an amazing YA series and I’m happy to be able to finally present the whole series for Icelandic readers. The books are extremely well written, total page-turners, and the main character is as cool as ice.”
– Stella Soffía Jóhannesdóttir, publishing coordinator, StorySide Iceland

SNOW WHITE TRILOGY
by Salla Simukka#1 As Red as Blood
(Tammi, 2013)It’s the coldest winter in decades: the streets of Tampere are frozen and white with snow. And nothing is as red against white snow as blood…
17-year-old Lumikki Andersson goes to a high school of performing arts. She has made it a rule to stay out of things that do not involve her. However, the rule is put to the test on leap day when she finds washed five hundred euro notes hung to dry in her school’s darkroom. Soon Lumikki finds herself caught in a tangled web of international drug trafficking.#2 As White as Snow
(Tammi, 2013)
Lumikki Andersson is backpacking in Prague, where the weather is scorching hot. A girl approaches her in a small café and claims to be her stepsister. Lumikki’s parents seem to be hiding a secret concerning the family’s past, so the girl’s claim rouses Lumikki’s interest. Despite her erratic behaviour, the girl manages to persuade Lumikki to join a religious community. But the religion of the cult is not pure; and innocence is not as white as snow…
#3 As Black as Ebony
(Tammi, 2014)
Lumikki Andersson is set to play the leading role in a modern-day version of Snow White at her high school. As opening night approaches, Lumikki starts receiving notes from a secret admirer whose infatuation soon turns out to be a dangerous obsession. The admirer threatens to turn the premiere into a bloodbath unless Lumikki consents to his demands. Time is running out, the opening night is just around the corner and Lumikki has to find a way to outwit the stalker with a soul as black as ebony.
