Dear Reader,

A long time ago, when I began my publishing career, I had

the opportunity to speak at an SCBWI conference attended by

the

Rachel Cohn. I was so nervous during my speech, because she was in

the audience and I was starstruck. If you had told me then that I would

someday have the pleasure and privilege of being her editor, I would not

have believed you. Now I can say that working with Rachel on the Beta

series was absolutely worth the wait.

Many of you know Rachel Cohn’s work from her beloved Gingerbread

series and her

New York Times

best-selling

Nick and Norah’s Infinite

Playlist,

but this latest endeavor is Rachel Cohn like you’ve never seen

her.

Beta

is startlingly original. You will be swept away by Rachel’s sump-

tuous, alarming vision of a future in which the wealthy lead lives of pure

luxury, and are served by clones engineered to cater to their every whim.

When I read

Beta

for the first time, I was struck by how effortlessly

Rachel tapped into a whole new side of her talent. She drew me into

a world that is at once deeply enticing and deeply disturbing. One of

the most exciting aspects of

Beta

is that it is an epic story—Rachel has

planned out a four-book series. In this first book, you will get to know

Elysia, a character whose vibrancy and resilience make her story feel both

unique and utterly universal. You will follow her struggles, and share in

her triumph when she finds the strength to fight back.

Beta

is unlike anything else I have read. Rachel Cohn’s novel juxtaposes

the ugliness of consumption and decadence with a breathtakingly beau-

tiful landscape, and the innocence of a new soul. I am thrilled to be

introducing this book to you, knowing that you are about to embark on

an enthralling reading experience. It’s one you won’t quickly forget.

Yours sincerely,

Emily Meehan
