Friday Finds hosted by Should Be Reading asks us to share what great books we heard about or discovered in the past week.


My pick this week is a YA novel called Restoring Harmony by Joelle Anthony to be released May 13, 2010 by Putnam Juvenile. Here’s a bit about the book from Amazon.com:

The year is 2041, and sixteen-year-old Molly McClure has lived a relatively quiet life on an isolated farming island in Canada, but when her family fears the worst may have happened to her grandparents in the US, Molly must brave the dangerous, chaotic world left after global economic collapse—one of massive oil shortages, rampant crime, and abandoned cities.

Molly is relieved to find her grandparents alive in their Portland suburb, but they’re financially ruined and practically starving. What should’ve been a quick trip turns into a full-fledged rescue mission. And when Molly witnesses something the local crime bosses wishes she hadn’t, Molly’s only way home may be to beat them at their own game. Luckily, there’s a handsome stranger who’s willing to help.

Restoring Harmony is a riveting, fast-paced dystopian tale complete with adventure and romance that readers will devour.

I think this sounds like a really good novel plus I’ve really become interested in these dystopian tales of late. The author also resides in Canada and I do like supporting Canadian authors when I can! How about you? What did you find that caught your eye this week?

    I share your interest in dystopian tales and will be interested in what people thing of it. People lucky enough to get it early. 😉

  4. That does look like a good one, Dar! I hope you don't have to wait to long for it.

  7. I found Beastly this week which is coincidentally being made into a movie. A cute fractured fairy-tale. 🙂
