Random House announced that it is publishing a 'Frozen' chapter-book series that will continue the story from the 2013 hit Disney movie, which has grossed more than USD 1 billion at the box office.
'Anna & Elsa #1: All Hail the Queen' and its sequel, 'Anna & Elsa #2: Memory and Magic', will go on sale January. 6, 2015, according to Hollywood Reporter.
The first two stories will add more detail to the Frozen world and follow Anna and Elsa as they get to know each other as sisters.
Two more books will follow later in the year. Random House plans to publish three or four books a year going forward.
The books will be written by Erica David, who has penned licensed books spun off from 'How to Train Your Dragon', 'Legend of Korra' and 'Mr Peabody & Sherman'.
Random House children's division president Barbara Marcus compared the new 'Frozen' series to the company's popular 'Never Girls' series, which is set in Disney's Neverland.
"We have seen our Disney Never Girls series fill a real niche in the chapter book market, and with the momentum for Frozen only continuing to grow, we knew this was the perfect focus for this new series," Marcus said.
