​We are thrilled to announce that Katy Birchall will write the official "Sex Education" novel, Sex Education: The Road Trip, a standalone YA title which will be published in paperback by the Hodder Children’s Books imprint in September 2021.

The synopsis reads: "Maeve’s brother is in deep trouble. He is desperate for her help – he says they only have each other to rely on. But with Aimee, Otis and Eric by her side, Maeve has the support she would never admit she wanted."

Alexandra Antscherl, editorial director for fiction brands, commented: "We can’t get enough of the superb 'Sex Education', so we’re thrilled to be publishing an irresistible new novel about the characters we love.”

Hachette Children's Group will publish two official companion titles to Netflix's "Sex Education" this autumn, including a non-fiction guide to relationships and a YA novel. 

The publish acquired world rights in all languages from Netflix. Rights for the companion titles have been sold in 20 territories, after hotly contested auctions, the publisher said.
