Illustrated graphic showing a cute, happy, monster peeking out from behind a black and green shape with a screenshot of a deal announcement with two headshots. The one on the left is of a smiling, white woman with blond hair. The one on the right is of a smirking, Latina with short, curly black hair and light pink glasses. The text reads: 
Erica Finkel at Abrams has bought, in an exclusive submission, world English rights to Monster League, a chapter book series by Ellen Potter (left), illustrated by Yury Guzman (right). The story follows a benchwarmer kid who becomes the unlikely coach of a team of misfit monsters, bringing the warm and optimism of Ted Lasso to a humorous, underdog tale. Publication will begin in spring 2027; Alice Tasman at Jean V. Naggar Agency represented the Author, and Saritza Hernández at Andrea Brown Literary Agency represented the illustrator in the two-book deal.
