"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This meme spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's waiting on Wednesday pick is a new fantasy by Rachel Neumeier, with a gorgeous cover that I found on her website thankfully since Amazon didn't have it up yet.
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young AdultsAuthor: Rachel NeumeierRelease Date: Feb. 8, 2010When Trei loses his family in a tragic disaster, he must search out distant relatives in a new land. The Floating Islands are unlike anything Trei has ever seen: stunning, majestic, and graced with kajurai, men who soar the skies with wings.
Trei is instantly sky-mad, and desperate to be a kajurai himself. The only one who fully understands his passion is Araene, his newfound cousin. Prickly, sarcastic, and gifted, Araene has a secret of her own . . . a dream a girl cannot attain.
Trei and Araene quickly become conspirators as they pursue their individual paths. But neither suspects that their lives will be deeply entwined, and that the fate of the Floating Islands will lie in their hands. . . .
Filled with rich language, and told in alternating voices, The Floating Islands is an all-encompassing young adult fantasy read.(Publisher's summary from Amazon)
Can't wait to see what you are waiting one this week?
