Jenna Ortega is currently scaring up audiences in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (the sequel to the 1988 Tim Burton hit), but the actress is also the lead in Netflix’s Wednesday, which returns for a second season next year.
While the premiere date for season two of Wednesday has yet to be announced, fans of the show can keep up with the characters with a new novel, inspired by the hit series.
Titled “Wednesday TV Series YA Novel #1,” the book features a novelization of Wednesday’s first season, following Wednesday Addams as she solves mysteries and dodges supernatural spirits at Nevermore Academy. From publisher Random House, the 368-page hardcover includes many of the plots and characters from the Netflix series, along with new details not seen on the show. A bonus: this Target exclusive (above) includes a free collectible poster.
From the publisher notes, “Follow along with [Wednesday] as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore Academy.”
This is an officially-licensed release from Netflix, with the cover art featuring an image of Ortega from the show.
Target also has a special Beetlejuice Deluxe Gift Set available right now. The keepsake box set is modeled after the Handbook for the Recently Deceased, used by the characters in the film, and includes the book, a pouch, notecards, pen and more.
Like the Wednesday book, this is an officially-licensed release at Target.com.
