Once again, I am going to sign up for the Debut Author Challenge hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren as I have managed to complete it the last two years and it’s always fun to discover new authors. Here’s what it’s all about directly from The Story Siren:

           “CHALLENGE OBJECTIVE:
·         To read & review a minimum of twelve young adult or middle grade debut novels between the dates of January 1, 2012 – January 31, 2013.*
