Revolution is about a present day girl (Andi) who finds a diary from a girl (Alexandrine) who lived during the French Revolution, when Andi visits Paris with her father for winter break. and soon finds a comforting pace in Alexandrine's words, and is almost moved to the point of obsession. on the back of the book it says, "On a midnight journey through the catacombs of Paris, Alexandrine's words transcend paper and time, and the past becomes suddenly terrifyingly present."
sounds good right? I think so too.

*** by the way I totally forgot to say when it ends, sorry about that. since this is my first giveaway, and i have about 13 followers I'm going to give this a bit of time ending it on December 16 because that's the day my friend's ice skating show is, and it just seems like a good day! so be good people and spread the word!
Honest I would love to read Cathrine the Great's diary. She sounds like such an incredible ruler. She was a German Princess who married a Russian king, she blended into the culture and gained the love of the people, and they helped over throw her husband! Crazy right? Great giveaway and question!

I really like this author, one of my favorite books is her other YA novel called A Northern Light and I have been wanting to read Revolution!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick a diary to read I think I would pick someone's diary from World War II. Sort of like an Anne Frank diary because I find that time period to be very interesting and a grave point in history.
Thank you so much for the great contest. I know I don't get extra points for this but I'm a follower of your blog.
