The blogosphere is a-buzz with love for this book, and according to readers of this blog it's one of the most anticipated YA debuts for 2011! Unearthly is available to request from HarperTeen on Netgalley, so if you're interested, you can read it for free! I've just put my request in and I hope I get approved! If you've already read this one, I'd love to know what you thought!
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release date: January 4th 2011.
Ages: 12+Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what it is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place--and out of place, at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make--between honesty and deciet, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
Since I love book covers, and I especially like seeing different vesions of book covers from around the world, I thought I'd post the Australian edition of this one. Pretty, isn't it! Which cover do you like best?
