Going back to the Gallagher Academy!

June 13, 2018 by Ally Carter 33 Comments

Hi, everyone!

We’re going back to the Gallagher Academy for a new PREQUEL NOVELLA! Wanna see Cammie, Bex, and Liz come to spy school for the first time? Well, this is your chance!

This is a fun project that came about when an editor at Audible contacted my agent to see if I had any interest in doing an audio original story and, of course, I said yes! I couldn’t pass up the chance to tell the story of how Cammie, Liz, and Bex all met.

And that’s how The Spies that Bind came to be.

But it’s not exactly like the GG books you all know and love, so here are some things I’d like for you to keep in mind:

–It is exclusive to Audible for the first year. Which means it’s in audiobook form only. And it’s only available from Audible. (If you have Audible in your country, it might be there. If you don’t have Audible then I’m afraid I don’t know what to tell you. I’m sorry.)

–After the first year I will have the right to do an eBook–which I will likely do.

–It may never have a hard copy version (paperback or hardback) because it’s a novella and those aren’t really cost-effective in hard copy form. I know this really upsets a lot of you, and I’m sorry, but the economics of it make it really more of a digital thing. When there’s an eBook you can get that and read it on pretty much anything that has internet access and a screen.

–It’s a PREQUEL–so no Zach, no Macey, no Solomon, no CoveOps.

–The girls are seventh graders in this one, so the voice and tone might be a little different.

–If you have an Audible membership, cool.

–If you don’t have an Audible membership you can either 1. sign up for the free month trial or 2. just buy the book via their a la carte option.

–The best part is…IT’S OUT JUNE 25th. As in the June 25th that is in TWO WEEKS!

I hope you’ll be as excited as I am!

An original novella and prequel to Ally Carter’s New York Times best-selling Gallagher Girls series, exclusively on Audible. 

The first day at a new school is tough for any kid, but it’s especially scary when you’re going to a school for spies. Cammie Morgan has spent her whole life dreaming of becoming a Gallagher Girl, but she has no idea what she’ll face when she arrives at The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. Secret passages? Check. Lab experiments that might make you lose your eyebrows (and other body parts)? Check. Classmates who are the smartest, strongest, most intimidating girls in the world? Double check. 

Cammie might be a Gallagher legacy, but she’s about to learn that the most intimidating part about the Gallagher Academy are the Gallagher Girls themselves. Soon Cammie and her clumsy-but-genius roommate Liz, and the glamorous Bex have to learn the most important lesson of the seventh grade: getting into spy school is hard. Surviving spy school is harder. 

Ally Carter is the author of many beloved series, including Heist Society and the Embassy Row novels, and Not If I Save You First.

    I’m excited for another book! I love everything I have able to find that you’ve published. I appreciate you explaining how the economics/contract side of that works.
    Best regards.

    Hi! I’m really excited for this! Seriously, I’ve been a fan of your books and mostly the Gallagher series for years ! But I was wondering if you could make an aftermath of what happens to Cam and Zach after the story?

      Yeah, I agree. Honestly, I would love it if the series continued. When I first found out there were only six books, I was so sad. More books would be amazing, especially about Cammie and Zach.

    I love your books! I know that you’ve said that there would not be any more books in the Gallagher Girls series, but I just wanted to ask you once again. I’ve basically grown up reading your books and I wanted to tell you that they helped me loads. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!! I love Kat, Cammie, Grace, and (everyone in general’s) personality. You really brought these characters to life and I will forever be thankful. Once again, thank you.

    Hi Ally,
    just wondering if you have time to answer a few of my questions.
    If not just respond back saying you can’t and that’s totally fine.

    Appreciate it,

    Dear Ally Carter,
    I am a huge fan of your book series Embassy Row! I love the story and the characters and the truth and even the lies. I love every part of it! I’m so happy Grace’s truth was reveled and she was able to live a free, happy life with the ones she loves! But I was so upset when I finished the last book, Take The Key And Lock Her Up. I was hoping you would make a 4th novel too it please? It is an amazing story and Grace Blakely truly is some kind of mysterious wonder! I hope you read this and take my idea to thou.gh
    Love, Your beloved fan

    Dear Ally Carter,
    I have just finished reading all six Gallager books and am currently trying to find the link of Gallager.com. Not only that I would really just like to read the other perspectives(especially Zach’s) and I’m about to pull my hair out. I have only found it on GoodReads and nobody has it. The link isn’t working, Barnes%Nobles doesn’t have it, Audible and so much more. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Love
    You obsessed fan

    You should make a series about Zack I would totally read that, it should be called Blackthron boy’s series. If you do make a series you should make a girl in that book that Zack had a relationship with from before, and hey maybe you will get some more male readers

    Hey there! I really love all of your books, especially the Gallagher Girls series and the Embassy Row series. I can’t wait to try out Heist society!
    Your books are a great inspiration for me, and I write my own books as well. The books are just awesome, and I can’t wait to read the prequel novella!
    You’re one of my favorite authors in the whole world, one of the best writers about spies.
