’s 2012 highlights<br />
A gorgeous urban fantasy about<br />
dangers outside and in.<br />
A well-written, literary debut. A romance<br />
that will break your heart and gorgeous<br />
writing that sweeps you up in its world.<br />
Matthew has always lived in Safe, a<br />
community hidden far beneath the pipes<br />
and tunnels of the city Above.<br />
The residents fled to Safe years before to<br />
escape the Whitecoats and their cruel<br />
experiments, and now Matthew is<br />
responsible for both the keeping of Safe's<br />
stories and for Ariel--a golden-haired<br />
shapeshifter, and the most beautiful girl<br />
he's ever seen.<br />
But one horrifying night, an old enemy<br />
murders Safe's founder Atticus, and the<br />
community is taken over by an army of<br />
shadows.<br />
Only Matthew, Ariel, and a handful of<br />
friends escape Above. Now they not only<br />
have to survive in a sunlit world they<br />
barely know, but they must unravel the<br />
mystery of the shadows' fury and Atticus's<br />
death.<br />
ABOVE is the astonishing debut of an<br />
extraordinary new voice.<br />
