Change In Plans For Smallville Young Adult Novels
Posted by: KryptonSite

"Flight," one of the novels in the Smallville young adult series, has been moved up to having a December 2002 release. (To order a copy, click here!) The novel is written by Cherie Bennett and Jeff Gottesfeld of "Jitters" fame.

Now on the schedule for February is a book titled "Animal Rage." Here's how the publisher describes the novel:

"In ANIMAL RAGE, Smallville newcomer Heather is a militant animal rights activist who develops an amazing power after her exposure to the town's green meteor rocks: she is able to change into animals. Clark Kent is the only person in Smallville who can stop the shape-shifting Heather in her revenge-fueled rampages."

You can find these and more in KryptonSite's bookstore!

Unfortunately it seems to be an AOL-only thing for now, but we'll keep you all updated.
