Praise:
- I think this
book will appeal greatly to fans of the Selection. - the dressmaker D'fwan
reminded me of America's maids … The whole TV reality show aspect also reminded
me of Hunger Game as well as The Selection.- I Really Loved The Book
I am so looking forward to book two. I love the world you’ve created and I want to explore it more. I thoroughly enjoyed Friday and her story.
- I Really, Really Enjoyed This Book!
The way that Ashley and Friday’s relationship progressed was amazing. Too often, in books the two main love interests relationships progress way too quickly and it was refreshing to see Ashley and Friday’s relationship develop gradually instead of it being super rushed.
- I Would Give This Book a Full 5/5 Stars!
Like there was just so much to this book and none of the characters are like what you originally predicted. Every chapter keeps adding to the story and making it more and more complex, and it leaves you on the edge of your seat in suspense.
I ran as fast as I could until I heard the little girl
cry. “Mrs Mine!”
I froze, and looked back. “Who’s Mrs Mine,” I asked.
“My bunny,” the little girl replied. As a small child I had a stuffed bear
and stupid as it was, I knew how she felt. That bunny was a member of the
family. I dropped the little girl and pushed her forward.
“Run!” I yelled. “I’ll get your bunny.”
Lisa scooped up the girl and reached out to drag me
back but she was too slow.
“Fitz!” Lisa screamed as I ran back towards the car,
blocking out every sound, not letting myself think. I dropped to the floor and
grabbed the toy like it was a baton in a relay race with no seconds to spare. I
could hear each drop of fuel hit the road like the pounding of my pulse.
Something blurry in the sky was speeding towards us and Lisa made a run for me
again. Just as my fingers whispered across hers a voice boomed from above.
“Get down!” A man in a super skeleton suit flew down
from the sky and wrapped himself round the two of us, deploying a shield from
his back. It wasn’t a moment too soon. The car erupted in an awesome display of
fire and the crowd oohed and awed at the spectacle as though they were watching
New Year’s fireworks. I opened my eyes to the masked, super-suited figure above
me.
“Partner Kisaragi, it’s good to finally meet you.” Lisa
turned away from his face, only inches from hers, and mumbled something under
her breath that might have been “show off”.
About the Author
Hi! I’m Mina Chara, I’m a
student, an artist, a daughter, sister and companion to my two furry friends,
Gimli and Gwynne. This blog is here because I’ve just written a book
called Hero High: Figure In The Flames.
This is My Story:
Being dyslexic isn’t so
much of a problem, the hard part is not letting it dictate what I like, and
what I can do. For years I was scared of reading, but then I discovered YA
fiction, real books with main characters I could relate to because most of them
were girls.
When someone criticizes
my writing, I feel like crying, because I feel like that I’m back in English
class getting yelled at again, just wanting to go home, but I’m not a kid
anymore, I’m an adult, and as an adult, I wrote a book, and you can too.
