According to Amazon, Ratchet and Clank are getting a paperback children's novel based off of the movie. The synopsis is shown in the image below:
No title image is available yet, but the release date for the novel is February 23, 2016. The age range is from 7-10 years (not for fanboys, that is!) from grades 2-5, and consists of about 144 pages. The author, Kate Howard, has written many books for kids, including the New York Times bestselling LEGO Movie Novelization. The RaC Novel will be published by Scholastic Inc.
In addition, there will also be a Ratchet and Clank Novel reader featuring 48 pages of Ratchet and Clank Images! http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26240900-ratchet-and-clank
That's nice to know, it means the movie might get better advertisement than I originally thought it would
I'm suprised there's no UK distributor so far.
It's wonderful to see Ratchet and Clank being integrated into educational reading for kids :oui:

Um… Where does the 'educational' part come from?
Scholastic? Maybe I'm mistaken.

They are a childrens publisher, but they don't release just educational books. I'm pretty sure the old Bionicle books were released under their label. Besides, I don't really see how R&C could be educational.
Let's just hope that the movie is shown in Australia.
I think it's going to be a normal novelization. If it were truly aimed at kids and kids only, it would have been a visual novel. Kinda like what they did with Frozen, Tangled and etc. Now I think about it, have they confirmed it's a novel-novel or a picture book?
Instant buy for me
. The book is supposed to have 144 pages, I'd say it's a short novel novel. Picture books tend to have around 30-50 pages, but I might be mistaken.

Yeah, true. Then I guess it's a novella.

I know! I'd be super angry and upset if it doesn't. As for the book, I don't care what the target audience age group is, Imma still gonna buy it. I'll buy both of them… add it to my collection
