This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Displacement
by Thalia Chaltas
Published by Viking Childrens Books
on June 9, 2011
Home is supposed to be a place you belong. It's supposed to be parents who are there and siblings who bug you and a life that feels comfortable. It’s not supposed to be an absentee mother or a drowned sister. But that's Vera's reality, and she can’t stand it anymore. So she runs. She ends up in an old mining town in the middle of the California desert. It's hot, it's dusty, and it's as isolated as Vera feels. As she goes about setting up her life, she also unwittingly starts the process of healing and–eventually– figuring out what home might really mean for her. (from Goodreads)
This just one more book that I am anticipating reading. I read Because I Am Furniture by Thalia Chaltas and knew that I would continue to follow her work. This one sounds like it will be another heartbreaker.
That does sound like a heartbreaker! Which usually means I will read it :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't read this author before but I like the sound of this one. I may have to check out her other book first.
