$25 #Giveaway TRUTHERS by Geoffrey Girard @Geoffrey_Girard 11.25

October 30, 2017 By Mary

NERD BLAST

Synopsis 
 

Katie Wallace has never given much thought to 9/11. She was only a year old when terrorists struck American soil. But now her dad has landed in a mental institution after claiming to know what really happened. He insists the attacks were part of a government conspiracy. And he claims that Katie is living proof: the lone survivor of a massive cover-up.

Hoping to free her dad, Katie sets out to investigate his bizarre claims. Soon she’s drawn into the strange and secretive world of 9/11 conspiracy theorists known as the “Truthers“.

Wading through a dangerous web of fact and fiction, questions and distortion, Katie no longer knows what to believe. But she does know that she’s being followed — and that someone is determined to stop her search for the truth.

A novel for teens, exploring 9/11 & our conspiracy culture…

Praise for TRUTHERS

 

“In this intense thriller… Girard takes readers down a disturbing, provocative path; both sides start to make sense as information is revealed and theories are debated. It’s a fast-paced nail-biter with a resourceful heroine, packed with surprises that force readers to question every revelation and take nothing at face value.” ―Publishers Weekly [Starred Review]

“A beautifully written, captivating must-have that will hook readers from beginning to end. Girard has created a well-developed, quirky, tenacious main character for whom teens can’t help but root.” ―School Library Journal

“[Truthers] moves at a fast clip, and readers will get caught up in both the conspiracy construct (actual Truther theories are explored) and the romance that is as tangled as the web of confusion surrounding September 11.” ―Booklist

“A book teens will love. History, mystery, romance, action, and intrigue–all in one!” ―YA Books Central

    My parents had gone to a New Year’s Eve Ball thinking that at 12 & 14, we were old enough to be left for a couple of hours. How wrong they were! Just after midnight it started to snow (this is in Ireland were we don’t get a lot of the stuff!). My sister & I put on our welly boots, hats & scarves and went outside to dance in the snowflakes. Eventually we got cold and tired only to discover that we were locked out. We had to trek a mile & a half to a neighbour’s house to use their phone and suffered the humiliation of being found out. Great memory though!

    When we were young each summer we would drive to a fishing camp, Located in Eastern Ontario, we drove from Montreal. A very simple, rustic and 1950’s era which it was place. Just a lovely, pristine lake where we would swim, fish and eat the fish we caught and go for picnics on a small island closeby with the small motor boat. Life then was beautiful and consisted of easy, perfect days,

    I have great memories of sliding down the slide on our play set when I was younger, and sliding down into a pile of leaves during autumn. 🙂

    One year for Christmas Santa left little baggies of lettuce in the stockings of my sisters & I. There were also notes to go to the garage. In the garage was our new pet bunny.
