Author: Heidi Ayarbe
Release Date: April 21, 2010
Only this time Maya’s scientific method doesn’t work. She finds herself stuck in an orphanage, and then living on the street, where scientific laws don’t apply, with two unlikely allies, and she has to learn to live on instinct alone. But when Maya goes off in search of an aunt she’s never met in hopes of finding some semblance of stability in her chaotic world, she finds something even more important: her own strength.

I've been quite into coming of age stories lately, and this seems like the perfect blend of adventure, intrigue, personal crisis, and drama. Personally, I think it sounds great, and I can't wait for it to come out! As for the cover, while I enjoy frilly details and bright colours, I think this is refreshing. The black and white contrast makes the cover resonate, so I really like it.
What are you waiting for this week? If you link me, I'll comment!
It sounds like a great book, i havent heard of it, so thanks for picking it out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good pick! My WOW is at The Crowded Leaf.

ReplyDeleteI love coming of age stories too, so I like the sound of this one. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteInteresting pick. Compromised sort of reminds me of Stealing Heaven by Elizabeth Scott-it's also about a teenager who lives on the run with her con artist of a mother. Although in Stealing Heaven, there's a little bit of romance in it ;)
ReplyDeleteBtw, I wanted to say thank you for all the comments you've left on my blog. AND for putting my blog button on your site. It means so much! :)

ReplyDeleteThis does look good! I read another novel by this author and really liked it, though it was heartwrenching --
