Hello, everybody!
Ally here with a very exciting announcement:
I’VE SOLD A NEW BOOK SERIES!
Yes. It’s true. Here is the official announcement:
NYT bestselling author Ally Carter’s new series EMBASSY ROW, about the granddaughter of a powerful ambassador who returns to her home on Embassy Row and uncovers an international conspiracy while solving the mystery of her mother’s death, in a three-book major deal, at auction, moving to David Levithan at Scholastic, by Kristin Nelson at Nelson Literary Agency (NA).

Asia: [email protected]
Film: [email protected]
But don’t take my word for it, here is what my brand new publisher, Scholastic, had to say:
This exciting new series focuses on Grace, who can best be described as a daredevil, an Army brat, and a rebel. She is also the only granddaughter of perhaps the most powerful ambassador in the world, and Grace has spent every summer of her childhood running across the roofs of Embassy Row. Now, at age sixteen, she’s come back to stay— in order to solve the mystery of her mother’s death. In the process, she uncovers an international conspiracy of unsettling proportions, and must choose her friends and watch her foes carefully if she and the world are to be saved.
To read even more about it, check out the official press release.
I have been wanting to write this series since 2007, and I’m absolutely THRILLED that I’m going to finally get to explore this incredibly rich and interesting world that can’t help but be filled with amazing characters.
I’m equally thrilled to be working with the tremendously talented David Levithan, a good friend whom I have admired for years and with whom anyone in this industry would be lucky to work.
The first book will be published in 2015 (because, seriously, I’ve still got to write it).
And now I’ve got to go do exactly that!
Ally

September 1, 2013 at 4:29 pmI cannot wait! GG & Heist Society have been my favourite books for so many years now, and I do not want to see them end! I love Hale and Zach and I cannot wait to read this book and love Noah as well! I’ll be 18 and still fangirling over your books!
Michelle says
August 16, 2015 at 4:59 pmI’m so sad to see GG and Heist Society end. For my whole summer (last year) I was blowing through the books. The way they were written made me feel as if I was the main character, and not many books do that. It got so bad that my parents threatened to take away the books, because I didn’t go outside. lol, well I’m happy to see another series, and I’m excited to read it.
Amanda says
August 29, 2017 at 9:47 amMy parents also threaten to take away my books! I love the Embassy Row series!! I loved them so much that in Honors English, I made my report all about them!!!

Maxyyyy says
October 22, 2013 at 8:50 amREASONS TO BE EXCITED FOR EMBASSY ROW
(A list by Maxine Pseudos)
1. It revolves around a rebel (and everyone loves kick-butt girls).
2. The main character is an Army Brat (also known as The Supreme Military Kid).
3. Grace is up against the rest of the world, even as she tries to save it (an aspect much loved by fans of the Gallagher Girls and Maximum Ride).
4. The series is written by the absolutely, positively, oh-so-simply AH. MAY. ZING. Ally Carter herself. What’s not to love?
5. Mystery, action, and adventure are most likely to be included. Maybe a little romance? Hint! Hint!
WARNING: The reading of Embassy Row may result in extensive fangirling, bated breaths, really loud, really obnoxious squeals, the urge to cheer at inopportune moments, and an unquenchable desire to write fanfiction. If any of the above occur, please contact your nearest bookstore and request that they buy the rest of the series as soon as the books come out.

GallagherGirlObssessed says
April 22, 2014 at 5:32 pmOMB I can’t believe it……Grace is my name! I also wish there was a 7th Gallagher girl book, or maybe a little novella about her in the future….(I wanted her to become a person that does the stuff the do in CoveOps but for real and I want her to have a a steady relationship with Zach!)
Soph13 says
April 24, 2014 at 2:41 pmThat’s exactly what I think too! I second what Gallagher Girl obsessed says!:)

i was wondering if you are going to make a 4th embassy row book?
Because i have read all of them and i absolutely LOVE THEM!
when i finished reading the 3rd book, it just didn’t feel like the ending of graces story for me.
so i really, REALLY hope that there is going to be a 4th embassy row book.

Jazmine Smith says
June 15, 2019 at 7:25 amOMG! I have read all the books and I am only 12! I love Alexei’s persona so much I included it in my fan fiction! He’s so beautiful. Anyways, Ally Carter, please make the forth book!
I really need to get them all, it was the best birthday present ever, and try not to make the men in the book so attractive.
🙂 You are the best!
Have you met Suzanne Collins? I love her books too!
