Waiting On Wednesday 3rd August 2016

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights highly anticipated upcoming releases.

My upcoming release I can’t wait for is:

Title: Scar Island

Author: Dan Gemeinhart

Genre: YA/Middle Grade

Publisher: Scholastic Press

Publication Date: 3rd January 2017

Dan Gemeinhart brings his signature blend of action, heart, and beautiful writing to a tale of misfits struggling to survive.

Jonathan Grisby is the newest arrival at the Slabhenge Reformatory School for Troubled Boys — an ancient, crumbling fortress of gray stone rising up from the ocean. It is dark, damp, and dismal. And it is just the place Jonathan figures he deserves.

Because Jonathan has done something terrible. And he’s willing to accept whatever punishment he has coming.

Just as he’s getting used to his new situation, however, a freak accident leaves the troubled boys of Slabhenge without any adult supervision. Suddenly the kids are free, with an entire island to themselves. But freedom brings unexpected danger. And if Jonathan can’t come to terms with the sins of his past and lead his new friends to safety . . . then every boy on the island is doomed.

Dan Gemeinhart’s most gripping novel yet, this is a tale of misfits and outcasts at odds and in peril, and a redemption story that shines a light on dark truths to reveal that the strongest prisons of all are the ones we build for ourselves.

I loved The Honest Truth by Dan Gemeinhart, so when I saw this was due for release I knew I had to add it to my TBR. It’s a bit of a wait yet, as it’s not released until January, but I have so much to read that hopefully by January I’ll have caught up and be able to get straight to it.
