For those who're interested: the release of the AWoM paperback is scheduled for May 2, 2011, and you can preorder it now.

 

"In the hotly anticipated ninth installment of the Young Wizards series, Kit and Nita become part of an elite team investigating the mysterious 'message in a bottle' that holds the first clues to the secrets of the long-lost inhabitants of Mars. But not even wizardry can help them cope with the strange events that unfold when the "bottle" is uncorked and a life form from another era emerges.

"Though the Martians seem friendly, they have a plan that could change the shape of more than one world. As the shadow of interplanetary war stretches over both worlds, Kit and Nita must fight to master the strange and ancient synergy binding them to Mars and its last inhabitants. If they don't succeed, the history that left Mars lifeless will repeat itself on Earth..."

I've had it on pre-order with Amazon UK since before it came out in hardcover, and left the order there "just in case" (I prefer paperback for travelling, they take up less room in the backpack). I just checked the order status, and they do indeed have a delivery estimate now, so they seem to have tied up the premature order with the real thing. Which is good...

Yay, finally! I've been wanting to read it but didn't want to get the HB as it wouldn't match the rest of my collection D:

Oh, is that what Amazon meant by that email?

I was confused, having bought what I thought was a legit (hardback) copy almost a year ago.
