Isabella is back on the New York Times Best Seller list…and this time she brought a friend.

After a three month absence, My Name is Not Isabella has made it back onto The New York Times Best Seller list, but this time she’s not alone. Following right behind her #9 slot is My Name is Not Alexander at #10…less than one month after his official retail release!

Having a book on the NYT Best Seller list in the first place was already exciting, but having two on the list at the same time…well, that feeling is kind of indescribable.
