Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Illustrated by: Jim Di Bartolo
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Release Date: April 29th 2014 (soon, yay!)
From the remarkable imagination of acclaimed artist Jim Di Bartolo and the exquisite pen of bestselling author Kiersten White comes a spellbinding story of love, mystery, and dark conspiracy, told in an alternating narrative of words and pictures.
Cora and Minnie are sisters living in a small, stifling town where strange and mysterious things occur. Their mother runs the local boarding house. Their father is gone. The woman up the hill may or may not be a witch.
Thomas and Charles are brothers who've been exiled to the boarding house so Thomas can tame his ways and Charles can fight an illness that is killing him with increasing speed. Their family history is one of sorrow and guilt. They think they can escape from it . . . but they can't.
Arthur is also new to the boarding house. His fate is tied to that of Cora, Minnie, Thomas, and Charles. He knows what darkness circles them, but can't say why, and doesn't even know if they can be saved.
Sinister forces are working in the shadows, manipulating fates and crafting conspiracies. The closer Cora, Minnie, Arthur, Thomas, and Charles get to the truth, the closer they get to harm. But the threat is much bigger than they can see. It is strangling the world.
Until one of the boys decides he wants to save it.
Told in an astonishing mix of art and words, IN THE SHADOWS collides past against future, love against evil, and hope against fear. The result is both a mystery and a masterpiece.
Why am I waiting on this?!

Boarding house, sinister forces, sounds very intriguing :D
I really like books that include illustrations. It can really add a lot.
This sounds really unique & i'm a big Kiersten White fan so I'm looking forward to reading this.
A nice WoW Haley :-)
He breaks his bow over his knee--so cool!--as the hermes outlet soldiers close in. Of course, it's old news in Doctor Who, where the Time Lord hero regularly regenerates fendi outlet into a quite different new self. In comic books, the character may die, but the costume and persona are immortal. An obvious prada handbags example is Supergirl, where the Man of Steel's dead, continuity-erased cousin (killed in Crisis on Infinite Earths) is 'replaced' in the new continuity by a look-alike alien. Then there's Robin, a 'character' with at least three incumbents playing the role. In the new Star Trek series, for example, it's replica chanel an attention-getting clich to kill off the whole crew umpteen times via cloning, 'fake' timelines and the like. As long as one version of the cast survives, there's no problem. Two good examples are the Star rolex replica Trek: Voyager episodes 'Deadlock' and 'Course: Oblivion.'
