TLoS5 has a cover and a title: An Author's Odyssey.
Can one from the mods maybe add the title to this thread's name, please?

^Lol, yes, Chris seems to have had some fun with mixing old fashioned fairytales with science fiction and superhero's.

- Spoiler:
- "Alex and Conner have traveled into the realms of fairy-tales and classic literature, but An Author’s Odyssey is their first adventure in a world created from their own imaginations. Like a screenwriter, Conner has the exciting — and sometimes nerve-racking! — experience of seeing the characters and stories he has created come to life. The series has inspired so many kids around the world to read and I hope this fifth book will encourage readers to write their own stories, too."

I love this cover.
I am glad he changed his mind about yellow.
Black is so much better.

i love this evolution from classic fairy tales to mummified superhero robots! i bet there will be aliens eventually in this series. I mean, why not? maybe that bug like creature on the lower left corner is indeed an alien. what's that women robot on the lower right corner?

Re: The Land of Stories 5 - An Author's Odyssey
Chris has often said that the twins are alternate sides of himself, so I'm hardly surprised Conner is a writer.

The black cover is gorgeous.
And now we will see how his very own characters fit among the fairytale characters.

Very late to the party, but yeah! I totally love this cover, is so mature in comparison from the first one. This story has evolved so much, that I can't wait to read the 5th book.

Re: The Land of Stories 5 - An Author's Odyssey
I ordered my book a couple of weeks ago and now just have to wait for a text when it comes in for me to pick up after it comes out on it's initial release.
I will order the other two later one after I get this one.
So, glad I did not have to make a deposit and that even in hardback it is not expensive to for me to buy.

^IIRC that drawing of Trolbella was in book 3, right?
This is a drawing from Chris for the 5th book (behind a spoilerbar) :
And Chris' reply to someone asking him about the drawing:
When I read the ending of TLoS4 I already was excited about the twins going into Conner's stories to find help, and after seeing the cover and ^this drawing of TLoS5 I'm getting even more excited.
