Thanks to the wonderful people at Albert Whitman & Company, I have a very special summer book giveaway!
Win a Signed Copy of Being Henry David by Cal Armistead!
About the Book: Seventeen-year-old "Hank" has found himself at Penn Station in New York City with no memory of anything--who he is, where he came from, why he's running away. His only possession is a worn copy of Waldenby Henry David Thoreau. And so he becomes Henry David--or "Hank"--and takes first to the streets, and then to the only destination he can think of--Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts.Cal Armistead's remarkable debut novel is about a teen in search of himself. Hank begins to piece together recollections from his past. The only way Hank can discover his present is to face up to the realities of his grievous memories. He must come to terms with the tragedy of his past, to stop running, and to find his way home.
Albert Whitman & Company is giving away a variety of books from picture books to YA from August 1-4. Be sure to check out other stops in the giveaway tour The Book Cellar and Miss O's Library Land

ReplyDeleteSarah Dessen is usually a good summer read!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book that I read this summer is Emerald Green by Kerstin Gier. I was given an advanced reader's copy and it was an great end to the trilogy!
ReplyDeleteSummer Sisters by Judy Blume
ReplyDeleteNobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. It was a real page turner with a different concept of looking at people.
ReplyDeleteI have a soft spot for Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer read has been Requiem by Lauren Oliver, partially because I enjoy the feeling of completeness when a trilogy is done and because Lauren doesn't really let you have closure! (who knows what will happen next!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer read was "Eleanor and Park." Oh the angst and teen love, challenging our broadest assumptions about family life.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book this summer was Sacrifice by Charlie Higson, though it's not very cheery.

ReplyDeleteI loved "The Scorpio Races" by Maggie Stiefvater! Thanks for doing this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book this summer was Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book this summer was this year's Printz Award winner, In Darkness, by Nick Lake. I loved the juxtaposition of Haitian independence history with the 2010 earthquake and learning more about voodoo. Helen
