WILDEFIRE
Karsten Knight
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing / July 26, 2011 / Hardcover
Ashline Wilde is having a rough sophomore year. She’s struggling to find her place as the only Polynesian girl in school, her boyfriend just cheated on her, and now her runaway sister, Eve, has decided to barge back into her life. When Eve’s violent behavior escalates and she does the unthinkable, Ash transfers to a remote private school nestled in California’s redwoods, hoping to put the tragedy behind her. But her fresh start at Blackwood Academy doesn’t go as planned. Just as Ash is beginning to enjoy the perks of her new school—being captain of the tennis team, a steamy romance with a hot, local park ranger—Ash discovers that a group of gods and goddesses have mysteriously enrolled at Blackwood…and she’s one of them. To make matters worse, Eve has resurfaced to haunt Ash, and she’s got some strange abilities of her own. With a war between the gods looming over campus, Ash must master the new fire smoldering within before she clashes with her sister one more time… And when warm and cold fronts collide, there’s guaranteed to be a storm.
California, private school and gods? Oh my! As a debut novel Wildefire sounds like it has it all! And that beautiful cover holds your gaze and will not let go! There are some excellent YA reads out this summer and this sounds like one of them.
What are YOU waiting on?
At first, I didn't really like the cover of Wildefire but the more I see it, the more it grows on me! The plot also sounds great too! A bit different than the other mythology-based books that are coming out lately... :)
