Scholastic, DK and Penguin have inked deals with Lucas Licensing to bring the adventures of Indiana Jones to children's books in connection with the May 22, 2008, release of the fourth installment in the INDIANA JONES film series.
Scholastic is set to publish junior novelizations for the four films. The first three books will arrive in April ahead of the film's debut with the fourth to be released day-and-date with the new feature. DK is publishing a 144-page THE ULTIMATE INDIANA JONES GUIDE, which will cover the characters of all four films. Additionally, DK will produce a collection of sticker books. Penguin will bring the world of Indiana Jones to its Mad Libs series.
Lucas Licensing is in talks with other publishers to make tween-geared books as well.
