"Waiting On" Wednesday #49


“Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine that spotlights an upcoming release that we’re eagerly anticipating. Let the salivating commence.

My pick this week:

Send Me a Sign
By: Tiffany Schmidt
Publisher: Walker Childrens
Release Date: October 2, 2012

Description:

Mia is always looking for signs. A sign that she should get serious with her soccer-captain boyfriend. A sign that she’ll get the grades to make it into an Ivy-league school. One sign she didn’t expect to look for was: “Will I survive cancer?” It’s a question her friends would never understand, prompting Mia to keep her illness a secret. The only one who knows is her lifelong best friend, Gyver, who is poised to be so much more. Mia is determined to survive, but when you have so much going your way, there is so much more to lose.

From debut author Tiffany Schmidt comes a heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting story of one girl’s search for signs of life in the face of death.


Why I’m Waiting: I looooove books that deal with tough issues like this. And I LOVE best friend stories. So excited for this one!


What are you waiting on this Wednesday? Share in the comments and I’ll come visit!

  1. Ooh, this sounds like a pretty nice contemporary read. I think I saw it on netgalley last month, but I can't remember if I got to requesting it.

    Here's my WOW post.

  2. ohhh, this is a fantastic pick, I've had my eye on this for awhile! Good "Issue" books are always so rewarding to read, and this one sounds like it definitely will be. I snagged an ARC of it at ALA and I can't wait to read.
