Out of the Easy is the intriguing new title from the author of YA Award winner, Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys. Barnes and Noble description: "It’s 1950, and as the French Quarter of New Orleans simmers with secrets, seventeen-year-old Josie Moraine is silently stirring a pot of her own. Known among locals as the daughter of a brothel prostitute, Josie wants more out of life than the Big Easy has to offer. She devises a plan get out, but a mysterious death in the Quarter leaves Josie tangled in an investigation that will challenge her allegiance to her mother, her conscience, and Willie Woodley, the brusque madam on Conti Street. Josie is caught between the dream of an elite college and a clandestine underworld. New Orleans lures her in her quest for truth, dangling temptation at every turn, and escalating to the ultimate test. With characters as captivating as those in her internationally bestselling novel Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys skillfully creates a rich story of secrets, lies, and the haunting reminder that decisions can shape our destiny." Two really great resources that go along with this book:
While looking for the upcoming release date of the third book in the AMAZING Divergent series (October 22, 2013) I stumbled upon Veronica Roth's FAQs page and found it quite interesting. Along with book and movie information, she also had some great links to articles that will be helpful to any young writer. See the page here: http://veronicarothbooks.blogspot.com/p/faqs.html. I also discovered that she provides a discussion guide for her book Divergent if you're interested in checking it out. Here it is: http://files.harpercollins.com/HCChildrens/OMM/Media/Divergent%20DG.pdf. If you haven't read the Divergent series yet, it is a must read!!
