This month I will be featuring new releases from Canadian authors! From indie authors to well-known authors, I want to share with you the books I’m most excited for this year — I hope you’ll add some of them to your own wishlist and TBR!
The Fashion Committee by Susan Juby
Viking Books For Young Readers | May 23, 2017
“The Fashion Committee is another winner by one of my all time favorite authors.”–Meg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author of the The Princess Diaries and Mediator series.
Charlie Dean is a style-obsessed girl who eats, sleeps, and breathes fashion. John Thomas-Smith is a boy who forges metal sculptures in his garage and couldn’t care less about clothes. Both are gunning for a scholarship to the private art high school that could make all their dreams come true. Whoever wins the fashion competition will win the scholarship–and only one can win.
Told in the alternating voices of Charlie’s and John’s journals, this hilarious and poignant YA novel perfectly captures what it’s like to have an artistic drive so fierce that nothing–not your dad’s girlfriend’s drug-addicted ex-boyfriend, a soul-crushing job at Salad Stop, or being charged with a teensy bit of kidnapping–can stand in your way.
With black and white art custom-created by fashion and beauty illustrator Soleil Ignacio, the book is a collector’s item, perfect for anyone with a passion for fashion.
While I usually get library books as ebooks, this book not only looks like so much fun, but it sounds beautiful! I might have to get a physical copy of this one since apparently it’s very artsy. I’ve never read a Susan Juby book before but whenever I research Canadian authors, her name always catches my eye. This one looks like a bit of fresh air!
What Canadian book are you waiting for?
