This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Everlasting
by Angie Frazier
Publication Date: June 1st 2010 by Scholastic Press
Sailing aboard her father’s trade ship is all seventeen-year-old Camille Rowen has ever wanted. But as a girl of society in 1855 San Francisco, her future is set: marry a man she doesn’t love, or condemn herself and her father to poverty. On her final voyage before the wedding, the stormy arms of the Tasman Sea claim her father, and a terrible family secret is revealed. A secret intertwined with a fabled map, the mother Camille has long believed dead, and an ancient stone that wields a dangerous—and alluring—magic.
The only person Camille can depend on is Oscar, a handsome young sailor whom she is undeniably drawn to. Torn between trusting her instincts and keeping her promises to her father, Camille embarks on a perilous quest into the Australian wilderness to find the enchanted stone. As she and Oscar elude murderous bushrangers and unravel Camille’s father’s lies, they come closer to making the ultimate decision of who—and what—matters most.
If you are a follower of this blog, you know how I'm drawn to covers. Well, this one, in my opinion, is beautiful! I love the colors that were chosen. Very simple, yet it catches the eye. Then, I read the synopsis. Not much YA that I've read is set in the past, especially the 1800s. Not that this is historical fiction, which I love because I'm a big history fan, but the fact that it is set in the past has me highly anticipating this one! To top it off, there are secrets, magic and romance. What more could a girl want?
