"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that I can't wait for.
This week I'm waiting on:
The Girl with all the Gifts
by M. J. Carey
Publishing Date: March 27th, 2014
Publishing Date: March 27th, 2014
From Goodreads:
Melanie is a very special girl. Dr Caldwell calls her 'our little genius'. Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh. Melanie loves school. She loves learning about spelling and sums and the world outside the classroom and the children's cells. She tells her favourite teacher all the things she'll do when she grows up. Melanie doesn't know why this makes Miss Justineau look sad.
Interesting pick. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks. I just recently discovered it as well, thought I'd share ;)
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of Matilda actually, but darker. Hope it's good.
