The woods were insane in the dark, terrifying and magical at the same time. But best of all were the stars, which trumpeted their light into the misty dark.
Castella Cresswell and her five siblings-Hannan, Casper, Mortimer, Delvive, and Jerusalem- know what it’s like to be different. For years, their world has been confined to their ramshackle family home deep in the woods of upstate New York. They abide by the strict rule of God, whose messages come directly from their father.
Slowly, Castley and her siblings start to test the boundaries of the laws that bind them. But, at school, they’re still the freaks they’ve always been to the outside world. Marked by their plain clothing. Unexplained bruising. Utter isolation from their classmates. That is, until Castley is forced to partner with the totally irritating, totally normal George Gray, who offers her a glimpse of a life filled with freedom and choice.
Castley’s world rapidly expands beyond the woods she knows so well and the beliefs she once thought were the only truths. There is a future waiting for her if she can escape her father’s grasp, but Castley refuses to leave her siblings behind. Just as she begins to form a plan, her father makes a chilling announcement: the Cresswells will soon return to their home in heaven. With time running out on all of their lives, Castley must expose the depth of her father’s lies. The forest has buried the truth in darkness for far too long. Castley might be their last hope for salvation.
London has been destroyed in a blitz of bombs and disease. The only ones who have survived are children, among them Gwen Darling and her siblings, Joanna and Mikey. They spend their nights scavenging and their days avoiding the ruthless Marauders — the German army led by Captain Hanz Otto Oswald Kretschmer.
Unsure if the virus has spread past England’s borders but desperate to leave, Captain Hook hunts for a cure, which he thinks can be found in one of the survivors. He and his Marauders stalk the streets snatching children for experimentation. None ever return. Until the day they grab Joanna. As Gwen sets out to save her, she meets a daredevil boy named Pete. Pete offers the assistance of his gang of Lost Boys and the fierce sharpshooter Bella, who have all been living in a city hidden underground. But in a place where help has a steep price and every promise is bound by blood, it will cost Gwen. And are she, Pete, the Lost Boys, and Bella enough to outsmart Captain Hook?

A YA DEBUT I read this year is Remember to Forget, by Ashley Royer (I think!). It was good and even my teenage daughter thought so!!
Maisie Dobbs, Bird of a feather.
My favorite was Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I have read a couple of the books in that series (The Shatter Me Series) and really enjoyed them all.
I dunno, don’t think I’ve read one yet.
I don’t have a favorite yet, because I haven’t read any of them.
I don’t have a favorite.
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells still holds up pretty well!
I read one called Don’t Find Me that was really good.
I enjoyed Exam Room Confidential: The Wellborne Files by Louis Siegel
I haven’t read any debut authors this year so far ? been trying to catch up to my TBR.
I just enjoyed the book The Widow. It was very good.
I know what debut novel means and debut author, but I don’t know what books are debut novels. I tend to read the same authors because I like their stories. Sometimes, I”ll find a book I like, but the author has written several books so it’s not a debut book or debut author.
I don’t have a favorite debut of this year. I haven’t been able to keep up.
I know I’ve read several debut novels this year, but I can’t seem to remember any at this moment (though I did love The Widow). I apologize for not keeping better track of my reading history. Thank you for another great giveaway.
I have not read any debut novels recently. I’ve been catching up with my TBR pile. Thanks for the giveaway.
