Giveaway: EXILE – KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES 2

August 20, 2013

I’m a huge Shannon Messenger fan…I love her books! Have you read any of them yet?

 

I loved, loved, loved Shannon Messenger‘s first middle grades book, KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES, (and for that matter, her first young adult book, LET THE SKY FALL), and since I ended up with a second copy of the ARC of book 2 in the KEEPER series, EXILE, I decided to host a giveaway to share the love of this fantasy series.

Good luck and happy reading! 
Title: EXILE (KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES #2)

Author: Shannon Messenger
Publisher: Aladdin (a Simon & Schuster imprint)
Release Date: October 1, 2013
Number of Pages: 576

Sophie Foster thought she was safe. Settled into her home at Havenfield, surrounded by friends, and using her unique telepathic abilities to train Silveny–the first female alicorn ever seen in the Lost Cities–her life finally seems to be coming together. 
      But Sophie’s kidnappers are still out there. And when Sophie discovers new messages and clues from the mysterious Black Swan group, she’s forced to take a terrifying risk—one that puts everyone in incredible danger. 
      As long buried secrets rise to the surface, it’s once again up to Sophie to uncover hidden memories—before someone close to her is lost forever. 
      In this second book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series, Sophie must journey to the darkest corners of her luminous world in a sequel that will leave you breathless for more.

    It's too hard to pick just one favorite! But I'm currently reading Goblins, by Philip Reeve, and enjoying it lots.

    Ooo…. favorite MG fantasy? That's a tough one! I know Graveyard Book is more urban fantasy than high fantasy… but it's near the top of the list. So is Inkheart! I do love Keepers of the Lost City, too!

    Does Percy Jackson count as fantasy? If not then definitely the Keeper of the Lost Cities! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

School's out for summer & the weather was perfect School's out for summer & the weather was perfect for reading outside this weekend. Couldn't resist choosing this YA romantasy touted as "Taylor Swift's 'Vigilante Sh*t' meets The Gilded Age" for my first summer break read!

Finding moments of joy where I can. There are two Finding moments of joy where I can. There are two days left of this school year. A year that started with sitting in the corner crying due to the overwhelm of the massive task ahead of us to get ready for the first day upon walking in & seeing the state of the library after summer renovation work. A year of ups & downs & all arounds. All the way to today when we had the giddy joy of our brand new booktrucks being delivered. They are pretty & sturdy & glide smoothly & elevate the look of the whole library while making our lives easier. Farewell old, dented, wobbly, rusty, beige carts. IYKYK. Bahama blue, turquoise, teal, sundrop, & calming lavender are taking over. Thank you for the colorful options, helpful customer service, & quick response shipping before school ends @demcoinc!!

Love this reminder of the power of children's lite Love this reminder of the power of children's literature from the introduction in Show & Tell: Exploring the Fine Art of Children’s Book Illustration! Reading it this weekend to continue building background knowledge for my work on the Caldecott Committee this year. 

"In this regard, we truly suffer from an embarrassment of riches. Children's books have never looked better or been more
important. They are one of the few quiet places left where a child can go to be alone, and to travel worlds past, present, and future. They are often the first place children discover poetry and art, honor and loyalty, right and wrong, sadness and hope. And it is there between the pages that children discover the power of their own imaginations. They are indeed a dress rehearsal for life."
