“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!
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.

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.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of this one! I don't really read "issue" books myself.
