In My Mailbox lets you peek into the contents of my mailbox on a weekly basis. I am listing all the lovely books that I have aquired this week. If you would like to participate and have your own “In My Mailbox” post, you can find more information here on the Story Siren's blog, where it all began..(This post was inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.)
This week the book fairie was very good to me. I have already read one book and am devouring another :)
Dreaming Anastasia by Joy Preble
All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab
(Re)Cycler by Lauren McLaughlin
Diary of a Witness by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Love is a Higher Law by David Levithan
The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
Saving Maddie by Varian Johnson
They Never Came Back by Caroline B. Cooney
Dream Life by Lauren Mechling
Poisoned Honey by Beatrice Gormley
It has been a good week. All the books seem to be excellent reads with great stories. The Body Finder and They Never Came Back are the ones I want to devour first :) YUM!!
Here is a snippet of They Never Came Back by Caroline B. Cooney:
In a busy school cafeteria, a teenage girl is confronted by a classmate who questions her identity. He explains to the students who have crowded around that the girl bears an uncanny resemblance to his cousin, who was taken away by social services five years ago. Her parents abandoned her, fleeing the country after being accused of embezzling millions of dollars. The students are intrigued, but the girl shrugs off the attention as a case of mistaken identity.
As the days pass, however, the boy refuses to relent and even brings his parents in to back him up. But they are not the only adults involved. An FBI agent who has been working the case these past five years believes that whoever this girl is, she can serve as bait to help the FBI capture the fugitives. In this powerful novel that explores the possibility of mistaken identity, the evils of money and greed, and the heartfelt obligations of family and loyalty, Caroline B. Cooney has once again crafted a page-turner that will resonate with readers.
Sounds amazing? Right? I cannot wait to read it.
