Weird.

This book, which is part of the popular children's series "Who Was," has disappeared from the public eye for some reason. I've had it on my Wish List since June of last year; it was published in August; and now it's not available for sale anywhere??

What Is the Story of Princess Leia? (What is the Story of...?) :: Brandon T. SniderPatrick Spaziante (Illustrator)
ISBN-13: 9780593094747 - ISBN-10: 0593094743 - Book Type: Paperback

If anyone can find out what happened, I'd appreciate the update.

I am actually curious about this too. I have emailed the author to ask (Brandon Snider). Perhaps it was a "victim" of the pandemic as many business ventures were at that time?  No idea if I will get an answer, but I will post here if I do.

The author responded very promptly.  He indicated that there is a glitch in the publication process for this book. He understandably did not go into details of the problem.  However, he is hopeful that the book will eventually see the light of day. It has not been cancelled.  I did notice that a few people on pbs have it on their wishlist.
