Novel Novice 
It doesn’t have a pretty cover yet but I’m really excited for Geoff Rodkey’s new one: New Lands. His debut ‘Deadweather and Sunrise’ came out last year and it was one of the most enjoyable MG books I’ve ever read!
Just wanted to point out that Artemis Fowl and Magicalamity are already out here in the U.S. Artemis came out in July 2012 and Magicalamity in December. Loved the first and still have the second on my To Read pile. I’m looking forward to checking out Jinx though 🙂
