Angry Birds Maker to Publish YA Novels

By Dianna Dilworth 

Finnish app maker Rovio, the company behind Angry Birds, is getting into book publishing with a series of YA novels.

The company has signed author Mintie Das and will publish her novel The Sinking World later on this year. The novel is part of a series of YA books set to come out called Storm Sisters. The book follows  action-filled adventures on the high seas disguised as ‘girl pirates’ in the late 18th century. A second novel titled The Frozen Seas is set to follow. Here is more from the publisher’s site:

After the tragic events of what has become known as the Day of Destruction – a day when they were intended to die along with their families – Charlie, Sadie, Liu, Raquel and Ingela sail the high seas all alone. In the 1780s, in a world filled with pirates, hurricanes and disbelievers, that’s not an easy task. What’s more important: Survival or truth?
