Psichogios has secured the Greek rights to The Hues series by Vuokko Hurme in a two-book deal, marking the second foreign deal for this series.
The Hues series by Vuokko Hurme is travelling to Greece, where Psichogios has secured the rights to the first two books of the series. This is the second foreign deal for the series, whose first book Ruby’s Secret is already out in Italian with Mimebù.
The Hues are a family where each member is able to control the colours of their own possessions, and can handle them and move them about by willpower. Ruby’s colour is red and her big sister Skye’s is blue, while their little brother Forrest is still looking for his colour. When the Hues, hiding their secret skills, move once again, something changes: Ruby no longer wants to be an eternal outsider – no matter the cost. So begins the series, which follows the members of the Hues family as they each find their colour, and their place in the world. Pitched as The Incredibles meets Inside Out, The Hues series is a colourful series about friendship, otherness, and living an ordinary life with extraordinary powers.
Vuokko Hurme (b. 1979) is a children’s author based in Helsinki whose output includes nonfiction, novels and picture books for children. Her children’s books are published in Finland by Schildts & Söderströms.
Psichogios is a Greek publishing house with a broad selection of domestic and international fiction and non-fiction for children and adults. They are the Greek home of, among others, John Green, Percival Everett, Roald Dahl, and Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Whimpy Kid series.
Congratulations to the author and the publisher!
