17 & GONE in Chinese

Last week, my first-ever book translated into another language landed on my doorstep… it’s my novel 17 & Gone, translated into simplified Chinese! I can’t read a single character and am not sure what any of it says, but it was a thrill to hold this in my hands…

…I can see that they changed Abby’s hair color and eye color on the missing poster to reflect the photo (blonde hair, black eyes!), but that’s all I know.

I hope China likes the book. What a wonderful thing, to have my book reimagined in another language and published so far from home!
