I have loved this opportunity to celebrate the incredible authors who read early copies of THE SECOND DEATH OF EDIE AND VIOLET BOND and generously shared these beautiful words. The first time I read @thatlauraruby Printz-award winning novel, BONE GAP, I stared into space for two solid minutes, and then immediately flipped back to page one to read it all over again. Such is the power of Laura Ruby’s storytelling. A two-time National Book Award Finalist, Laura is also the author of the incredible Great Depression-era set ghost story THIRTEEN DOORWAYS, WOLVES BEHIND THEM ALL, which was a huge inspiration for my debut novel. I love the way Laura creates worlds that are in many ways familiar to us, but with a hint of magic or the unexplained. And for the middle grade readers in your life, if you haven’t given them a copy of her YORK Trilogy, believe me when I tell you, they will be instantly hooked by this mystery full of puzzles, magic, and friendship. It is the greatest gift in the world when someone who inspires you responds to the work you do, and I am so grateful to Laura for her generous words about Edie & Violet! 🏷 #yareads #YAfantasy #spookyseason #spookyreads #bookworms #bookish #ireadya #yabookstagram #iloveya #tbr #tbrpile #paranormalbooks #newbook #bookcommunity #booknerd #amreading #bookblurb #22debuts #ireadya #yabookstagram #iloveya #unionsqandco #amandabglaze #TheSecondDeathofEdieandVioletBond #preorder #preordercampaign #preorderart
