"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This meme spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Author: Brent HartingerPublisher: FluxRelease Date: Feb. 1, 2011Reading Level: 9-12
Living with his grandparents on a tiny island off the Washington State coast, Zach feels cut off from the world. Especially when he's forbidden to chat with his online friends. But then his little brother, Gilbert, is kidnapped. To find him, Zach discovers how to astral project. Soon, his spirit is soaring through the strange and boundless astral realm—a shadow place.
While searching for his brother, Zach meets a boy named Emory, another astral traveler who's intriguing (and cute). As they track the kidnappers from the astral realm, their bond grows—but each moment could be Gilbert's last. Even worse, there's a menacing, centuries-old creature in their midst that devours souls and possesses physical bodies. And it's hungry for Zach.
Astral projection is new and intriguing and having a male protagonist is a plus since I am always looking for books to appeal to my male students. I also love the cover.
Also check out my giveaway of Crave by Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz.
Can't wait to see what you are waiting for.

Sounds awesome, I love to read books from a male pov. I'll be adding it to my list!
Ok, I absolutely love the sound of this one! Great pick! :)
That definitely sounds original! I've never read a story about astral projection ... although I'm sure it's not something you can just *DO* without months (years?) of meditation and stuff ... but, hey, it still sounds like a good read :D
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :D Love your picks!
I've never heard of this novel but it sounds really good and I;m interested to figure out what "astral projecting" is! Thanks for sharing!
My WoW
interesting pick jan! i haven't heard anything like it. i noticed it's by a male author. i just realize now that it's been a while since i've read a book by a male author.

It sounds like a good book... very unique. Unique is something I am looking for in a book. Just too many books out there that seem to be about the same things. The only other unique book I have read lately is one titled, "A Wind In Montana" by Mitch Davies... It is a great down to earth book that most teens could relate to.
I wish more people would write male characters!!!!! Looks like one I need to check out.
