The Clockwork Three in Complex Chinese, and some other things
The Clockwork Three has sold in several foreign languages, thanks to the hard work and enthusiasm of Scholastic’s Foreign Rights team. One of those languages is Complex Chinese, and I thought the cover looked so cool I wanted to share. Pretty neat, eh? I’m glad they stayed with the original artwork. According to Google Translate,…
