The Sky Is Everwhere by Jandy Nelson
Nelson’s “The Sky Is Everywhere” is both fresh and compelling. She keeps passion and survival alive, both breathing in sync as if literally created as one. She ties themes of love, forgiveness, grief, and anticipation into a love story more complex than most authors dare to attempt.
Jessi Heinshorn says that “The Sky Is Everywhere” is her favorite book. She adored the young girls “emotional poetry,” making the plot seem realistic, as if the reader could personally relate. She also liked that “Jandy Nelson left details vague – letting your imagination run.”
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater creates a plot where man and animal switch places; now man has to learn to be tame and deliberate in order to have control of the wild “capiall usices”. The new Celtic water horses threaten the very balance of fiction. “The Scorpio Races” deals with legends, superstitions, and myths; yet Stiefvater makes it her own as she throws in danger and exhilaration. Changing from the “Shiver” series of werewolves and young adult fantasy, galloping into “The Scorpio Races” with pounding hooves.
Readers are plunged into sentence after sentence with no time to breathe. Your mind keeps running even when the plot calms down. You are still in awe of the past events to even think of trying to calm down your breathing. Love and life collide with suspense as they run the race that only the smartest and the fastest survive.
“Some race to win. Others race to survive”. -The Scorpio Races
