BLOG TOUR: The Oyster Thief





Today's blog post is an interview with Sonia Faruqi, the 
author of The Oyster Thief which comes out 
October 16th. Myself and some other bloggers have 
come together to celebrate the release and share some 
exciting posts until the day of release.


The Oyster Thief is a tale of Coralline, a mermaid on a 
quest to find a magic elixir to save her brother. She meets 
Izar, a human who is also on a quest to find a cure for his 
dying father. The two continue their journey together, but 
the secrets they hide threaten the trust and affection they 
have built for one another.


I asked Sonia Faruqi some questions about her 
upcoming book as well as some questions 
about her journey as a writer/author.

REVIEW: A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi

Genre: Contemporary, Young Adult

Publisher: HarperTeen

ISBN: 0062866567

Format: Hardback, Paperback, E-Book,
Audio-Book

Release Date: 16th October 2018


Links: Goodreads, Amazon.com, Indigo,
B&N, Book Depository


Rating: 9/10


Synopsis:

It’s 2002, a year after 9/11. It’s an extremely turbulent time politically, but especially so for someone like Shirin, a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who’s tired of being stereotyped.

Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be. She’s tired of the rude stares, the degrading comments—even the physical violence—she endures as a result of her race, her religion, and the hijab she wears every day. So she’s built up protective walls and refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her. Instead, she drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afternoons break-dancing with her brother.

The Carls just appeared. Coming home from work at three a.m., twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture.

The next day April wakes up to a viral video and a new life. News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world--everywhere from Beijing to Buenos Aires--and April, as their first documentarian, finds herself at the center of an intense international media spotlight.

Rating: 8/10


Synopsis:

Abby Furlowe has plans. Big plans. She's hot, she's popular, she's a cheerleader and she's going to break out of her small Texas town and make it big. Fame and fortune, adoration and accolades. It'll all be hers.

But then she notices some spots on her skin. She writes them off as a rash, but things only get worse. She's tired all the time, her hands and feet are numb and her face starts to look like day-old pizza. By the time her seventeenth birthday rolls around, she's tried every cream and medication the doctors have thrown at her, but nothing works. When she falls doing a routine cheerleading stunt and slips into a coma, her mystery illness goes into overdrive and finally gets diagnosed: Hansen's Disease, aka leprosy.
