Numbers Giveaway

First there was The Mark. A growing up tale about a girl who lost her grandmother and can see an aura around the people who are going to day that same day. And although this book was good it didn't concentrate on the part that I was really reading it for, the supernatural part.



Enter stage Numbers by Rachel Ward.


"Ever since she was child, Jem has kept a secret: Whenever she meets someone new, no matter who, as soon as she looks into their eyes, a number pops into her head. That number is a date: the date they will die. Burdened with such awful awareness, Jem avoids relationships. Until she meets Spider, another outsider, and takes a chance. The two plan a trip to the city. But while waiting to ride the Eye ferris wheel, Jem is terrified to see that all the other tourists in line flash the same number. Today's number. Today's date. Terrorists are going to attack London. "


There has been quite a fuss with this book, and I believe its well deserved. The story sounds wild! It almost reminds me of Final Destination (the movie). And the story seems to exciting too. Don't you think guys?


I wonder how Spider counts as an outsider and why she decides to give this one a try... I wonder who wants to attack London... I so want to read this one.


And now if you want you can read it to! I have 3 Hard Covers of Numbers, and guess who is getting them?


...
..
.


Don't know yet, because 3 of you people are getting them. Now this contest has nothing to do with my other contest (The Ridiculous one) just so you know.


And I am very sorry to say it is not international =[ But the person who is sending them can't do it international. Sorry guys!


A little about the author:


"Rachel Ward grew up in Surrey, England. She studied geography at Durham University and went on to work for several local environmental organizations while raising a family. Her debut novel, Numbers, was shortlisted for Britain's prestigious Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2009, and has been critically reviewed in the United States, receiving a star from School Library Journal who said “Ward’s debut novel is gritty, bold, and utterly unique.”


Rachel's advice for aspiring authors? "Write what you want to. Don't worry too much at first who you are writing for, or who might read it. Try to enjoy writing for its own sake and don't get hung up on becoming published.


Rachel is currently working on THE CHAOS, her sequel to Numbers, which is scheduled for publication in the United States in Spring 2011."
