The Different Girl - Gordon DahlouistPublished : 1st February 2013
Publisher : Dutton Juvenile
I really like the sound of this. It sounds as unique as the cover makes it look! I am really interested to see the relationships between these girls and their different personalities. I love seeing how different characters come together.
This is a male author also which I find strange because the book is focused on females which will be interesting to see how he portrays them. Most male authors tend to write books which have a male main character. Anyway, it sounds really good! =)

The Blurb :
Four nearly identical girls on a desert island. An unexpected new arrival. A gently warped near future where nothing is quite as it seems.
Veronika. Caroline. Isobel. Eleanor. One blond, one brunette, one redhead, one with hair black as tar. Four otherwise identical girls who spend their days in sync, tasked to learn. But when May, a very different kind of girl—the lone survivor of a recent shipwreck—suddenly and mysteriously arrives on the island, an unsettling mirror is about to be held up to the life the girls have never before questioned.
Sly and unsettling, Gordon Dahlquist’s timeless and evocative storytelling blurs the lines between contemporary and sci-fi with a story that is sure to linger in readers’ minds long after the final page has been turned.

ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've heard of this one (but I think I've seen the cover). It sounds like it will be really good. I like that it is described as "storytelling that blurs the lines between sontemporary and sci-fi" - that makes it more appealing to me. Thanks for sharing.
