Dial has bought Shannon Hale's debut picture book The Bookmobile, illustrated by Tracy Subisak, in which a boy visits his local bookmobile only to be told he can't check out the books he really wants to read. The book is inspired by Hale's Washington Post piece about the gender bias adults impose on children when it comes to reading preferences. Publication is planned for spring 2021.
