Running Out of Time
Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix is an award-winning book for children that is also great for adults. I loved it. The story is of a family living in the 1840’s isolated from everyone but the small community around them. They live in a one room cabin, go to a one room school and have just what you would expect from that era. But, when children begin to get sick and die, Jessie’s mother pulls her aside and shares a huge secret. It is really 1996 and they are living as an exhibition for the rest of the world to visit and see what life was like. Her mom needs her to escape and get help as the one thing that was promised was access to medicine which is now being denied.This book was great. It captivated you from the start and was such a good read that I was disappointed when it was finished. The moral and ethical question of telling someone the truth of their existence and what is “real” continue to make me think about the book. The book is so apropo. No matter your age, this is a wonderful story.
Margaret Peterson Haddix will be signing at our booth on Saturday March 9th at 2:00 PM, so stop by get an autographed book.
New Release
Here are a few new releases for the week:
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult (She will be attending this years Tucson Festival of Books)
Fragments by Dan Wells (This is book 2 in the Partials sequence)
Bad Blood by Dana Stabenow (The latest novel featuring Kate Shugak and Stabenow will be attending this years Tucson Festival of Books)
The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson (This is book 2 in the Shades of London series)
The False Prince
Jennifer Nielsen’s newest novel The False Prince is a stunning story that is perfect for any tween, teenager or adult who is looking for a fantasy adventure. Sage and three other boys are taken from their orphanages and forced to undertake a dangerous mission of becoming a false prince. The catch of this already frightening task is that they have to compete against each other to see who looks and acts the most like the lost prince. No one knows what happens to the three boys who lose.
This book was fantastic. I love how defiant and independent Sage is throughout the entire story. He refuses to become someone he is not, even at the cost of his own well being. I also like how intelligent and mature Sage is for his age. He is clever and witty and can often follow complicated plots without being told all of the details. Nielsen created fantastic characters and an exciting plot that is sure to leave readers speechless. I can’t wait for book two, which comes out in March – just in time for the Tucson festival in fact.
Jennifer Nielsen will be at this year’s Tucson Festival of Books and we are so excited to meet her. We are hoping she will have time to sign with us at our booth, but if not she is planning on stopping in the booth to meet everyone. Check our website the week of the festival to find out is she will be signing with us.
