 * Comment. The author is notable and the book series is notable.  I think this book is likely notable, too.  Nonetheless, I'm having a little difficulty finding reviews, perhaps because it was just released.  Here's what I've got so far:  and  from USA Today,  from The Seattle Times,  from MTV,  from Bustle.  I added some of these to the article already.

 * Keep. The book may not have a ton of reviews, but it did land on two notable bestseller lists, USA Today and the WSJ. Given that she placed so highly on those lists, it's likely that she'll place on the NYT's list as well. I think that this, paired with the reviews it did receive and the overall coverage for the book, is enough to establish notability for the work. Also a fairly good sign of notability is that the book is in over 400 libraries per Worldcat. While technically not something that is considered to be a RS on Wikipedia, this many holdings is a good sign that a work would very likely pass notability guidelines.

 * Clear keep per Tokyogirl79's work to improve the article: well passes our threshold for children's literature, Sadads (talk) 13:59, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep notable author and series, more reviews will be coming out soon. White Arabian Filly  ( Neigh ) 00:01, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Oh, I forgot about this AfD.  I was going to come back and look for more sources or see if anyone else found them.  Anyway, the improvements looks good to me.  I think notability has been established. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:03, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
