*Updated: I now have the signed ARC to give away along with three hot-off-the-press hardbacks!
I'm so excited to be participating in the Spooktacular Giveaway hosted by Kathy Habel at I am a Reader, Not a Writer. Whatever she is, I think she's awesome for organizing this! 86 blogs all giving away stuff related to books! And so in honor of this spooky holiday, I'm giving away a book I loved that actually comes out in a few weeks! You have to read it!
THE MARBURY LENS by Andrew Smith (Feiwel & Friends, Nov 2010)
And the best of all, the ARC is signed by the author, Andrew Smith, who I met at ALA!
me and Andrew SmithFrom Amazon:
Sixteen-year-old Jack gets drunk and is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is kidnapped. He escapes, narrowly. The only person he tells is his best friend, Conner. When they arrive in London as planned for summer break, a stranger hands Jack a pair of glasses. Through the lenses, he sees another world called Marbury.
There is war in Marbury. It is a desolate and murderous place where Jack is responsible for the survival of two younger boys. Conner is there, too. But he’s trying to kill them.
Meanwhile, Jack is falling in love with an English girl, and afraid he’s losing his mind.
Conner tells Jack it’s going to be okay.
But it’s not.

The premise of this book is fascinating. I love the "They Live" angle going on. I'm anxious to read it.
I have to add this to my TBR pile just to sort out the plot description and my curiousity about the trauma that seems to call all that into question. Sounds fantastic.
Thanks for doing the giveaway!
