I had this one on Friday Face Off awhile back (it won), but it's not just the cover that piques my interest. REALLY curious about this synopsis. I haven't read anything by Sarah Rees Brennan (I think it's because of the cover for The Demon's Lexicon; did nothing for me, and before I started reading really good reviews and posts from Brennan that I found interesting, I had sort of already written the book off. Now, of course, I intend to dig it up and read it, but that just hasn't happened yet. But tangent aside...); this might have to be my first by her. #Intrigued - you?
Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan
370 pages
Expected publication: September 11th 2012 by Random House Books for Young Readers
Kami Glass loves someone she’s never met . . . a boy she’s talked to in her head ever since she was born. She wasn’t silent about her imaginary friend during her childhood, and is thus a bit of an outsider in her sleepy English town of Sorry-in-the-Vale. Still, Kami hasn’t suffered too much from not fitting in. She has a best friend, runs the school newspaper, and is only occasionally caught talking to herself. Her life is in order, just the way she likes it, despite the voice in her head.
But all that changes when the Lynburns return.
The Lynburn family has owned the spectacular and sinister manor that overlooks Sorry-in-the-Vale for centuries. The mysterious twin sisters who abandoned their ancestral home a generation ago are back, along with their teenage sons, Jared and Ash, one of whom is eerily familiar to Kami. Kami is not one to shy away from the unknown—in fact, she’s determined to find answers for all the questions Sorry-in-the-Vale is suddenly posing. Who is responsible for the bloody deeds in the depths of the woods? What is her own mother hiding? And now that her imaginary friend has become a real boy, does she still love him? Does she hate him? Can she trust him?
