QUICKIE GIVEAWAY: Being Henry David by Cal Armistead

I know we're about to head into Fairy Tale Fortnight and the massive amount of goodies to be had, but before we do, I've got a few non-fairy tale things to toss your way. A little Spring cleaning before every thing gets coated in fairy dust.

Today's goodie for you is a a copy of Being Henry David! I am terribly remiss in posting this, because I actually meant to offer this up at the beginning of March. (But as you know, my brain has been eaten by fairy godmothers, so... better late than never, right?!)

Check it out:

Seventeen-year-old "Hank" has found himself at Penn Station in New York City with no memory of anything--who he is, where he came from, why he's running away. His only possession is a worn copy of Walden by Henry David Thoreau. And so he becomes Henry David--or "Hank"--and takes first to the streets, and then to the only destination he can think of--Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts.

Cal Armistead's remarkable debut novel is about a teen in search of himself. Hank begins to piece together recollections from his past. The only way Hank can discover his present is to face up to the realities of his grievous memories. He must come to terms with the tragedy of his past, to stop running, and to find his way home.
