Book Giveaway-Pluto's Ghost by Sheree Fitch

In keeping with OH (MG &YA) Canada! I am giving away a copy of Sheree Fitch’s Pluto’s Ghost.

Here is the description from Goodreads :

"Murderer. It's one kick in the belly of a word isn't it? Has a taste, too. It tastes like barbed wire and has wild hyena eyes. Murderer. Murder-her. Did he? Did I? That's when I remember what I want to forget."

Jake Upshore has loved Skye Derucci since before he can remember. Volatile, complex and frustrated (he's got a label disorder from all the labels he's been given) at the best of times, Jake's on a desperate quest to find Skye before she aborts the baby he believes is his. As he hurtles headlong toward certain tragedy, Jake relives the fatal choices he's made and the powerful forces that have led him to this to end. A gripping thriller and a heart-wrenching love story, Pluto's Ghost is a raw and powerful novel about anger, escape, and redemptive love.

  1. I met Sheree at a conference back in the olden days when she was publishing poetry picture books.

  2. I'm going to recommend Yvonne Prinz' latest, All You Get Is Me (link to my review). There is some sex in it, but it's done in a very tasteful way. If you have a teen book club of 15+, I think they'd enjoy it.

    (and I've heard good things about Pluto's Ghost so I'm excited to read it!)

  3. Hey Jan! Yes on her and poetry. Toes in my Nose is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES to share with kids. I just loved, loved using it when I went out on school visits.

    Thanks on the recommend for All You Get is Me, Kat! Off to check out your review.
