We are thrilled to announce the 21st foreign sale of The Snow White Trilogy: Italian rights of Salla Simukka’s YA thrillers in the Snow White Trilogy have been sold to Mondadori for publication in 2014-2015. The Lithuanian rights have been acquired by Alma Littera and the Latvian rights by Zvaigzne ABC Publishers.
Snow White Trilogy is a worldwide phenomena:
“The phrase ‘grabs you and doesn’t let go’ never made more sense. More importantly, this quells any doubt about whether commercial appeal is antithetic to literary quality.”
– Iolanda Batallé Prats, Publishing Director, La Galera, Spain & Catalan

Lumikki Andersson, the main character in Snow White Trilogy, is a 17-year-old girl, who has learned to defend herself and to trust no one. She is a lonely wolf and a lonesome survivor. Like Lisbeth Salander for the YA!
