I am very
excited to be offering my very first GIVEAWAY, especially since I will be giving
away a fantastic new book by another British author. And to keep everyone
happy, there will be not one, but TWO copies on offer – one for UK readers and
one for US readers.
THE ART
OF NOT BREATHING by Sarah Alexander is a
contemporary story for teenagers about loss and grieving, set on the Black Isle in the north of Scotland . It
will be published by Usborne Books in the UK on April on April 1st,
and by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in the USA on April 26th.
To coincide with the American launch, my interview with Sweet 16s member, Sarah Alexander, will be featured on The Swanky Seventeens website on April 29th, and you will be able to read an extended version of the interview on my blog too.

About
THE ART OF NOT BREATHING
Five years after the drowning of her twin
brother, Scottish sixteen-year-old Elsie Main confronts tempestuous seas – and
her family’s tragic past – as she tries to remember what really happened that
fateful day on the beach. One minute Eddie was there, and the next he was gone.
Seventeen-year-old Tay McKenzie is a cute and mysterious boy that Elsie meets
in her favorite boathouse hangout. When Tay introduces Elsie to the world of
freediving, she vows to find the answers she seeks at the bottom of the sea. A
young adult debut that will appeal to fans of E. Lockhart’s WE WERE LIARS and
Jandy Nelson’s I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN.

ReplyDeleteSarah has given us such an atmospheric story - it's chilling, (quite literally at times - the Scottish sea is never warm!)
DeleteWould love to try this book, thanks for running the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun to work with Sarah on the giveaway and promotion of her great book, if only to get some practice in before I have to do it for my book in January! I'll certainly be doing another giveaway then, and hopefully one or two in between too. Thanks for taking part, Lauren.
DeleteThis book looks so lovely! I've heard really good things about THE ART OF NOT BREATHING so I'm really excited to read it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a story that stays with you for a long time after, that's for sure. Not sure I'd go swimming in the sea that far north in Scotland anymore though! Thanks for joining in.
