Last June, the EDIWTB online book club read The Local News, by Miriam Gershow. It's the story of Lydia, a girl in high school in Michigan whose popular, cruel brother disappears during his senior year. Here is my review and the book club discussion, and also Miriam Gershow's guest post about why she set The Local News in high school.
The Local News just came out in paperback, and Miriam Gershow has generously offered to give away a copy of the paperback version. I really enjoyed this book – in my review, I wote that "I was simply blown away at times by Gershow's writing talent, rereading phrases and passages that were beautifully expressive and also dead-on accurate."
If you'd like to win the copy of The Local News, leave me a comment below (and be sure to leave your email address). Random.org will pick a winner next Friday, March 19.
