What do you think? Will you purchase this novel as a hardcore fan? It may not spoil the movie (it's not like we don't know the general ending anyways…)

A novella/short story then. I was just thinking about what a shame it is that R&C didn't get a novel, but Resistance did. And now this! I'm definitely getting it though, as well as read it of course. I'll keep my eye out for pre-order in The Netherlands. emoji

That's nice to know, it means the movie might get better advertisement than I originally thought it would emoji

I'm suprised there's no UK distributor so far.

It's wonderful to see Ratchet and Clank being integrated into educational reading for kids :oui:

Um… Where does the 'educational' part come from?

Scholastic? Maybe I'm mistaken.

They are a childrens publisher, but they don't release just educational books. I'm pretty sure the old Bionicle books were released under their label. Besides, I don't really see how R&C could be educational.

Let's just hope that the movie is shown in Australia.

I think it's going to be a normal novelization. If it were truly aimed at kids and kids only, it would have been a visual novel. Kinda like what they did with Frozen, Tangled and etc. Now I think about it, have they confirmed it's a novel-novel or a picture book?

Instant buy for me emoji. The book is supposed to have 144 pages, I'd say it's a short novel novel. Picture books tend to have around 30-50 pages, but I might be mistaken.

Yeah, true. Then I guess it's a novella. emoji

I know! I'd be super angry and upset if it doesn't. As for the book, I don't care what the target audience age group is, Imma still gonna buy it. I'll buy both of them… add it to my collection emoji
