Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine.
You know I love me some middle grade. I also love fairy tales. So this one was a no-brainer. Also, I've heard good things about Falkner's book Brainjack, so even better! This is already published abroad, but will soon be coming to our shores. Hurrah! Also, the heroine's name is Cecilia Undergarment. *snicker*
Author: Brian Falkner
Expected Publication Date: January 3, 2013

Synopsis from Goodreads:
The dark forest of Northwood has never seen the likes of Cecilia Undergarment before …
Cecilia Undergarment likes a challenge. So when she discovers a sad and neglected dog, she is determined to rescue him. No matter what. But her daring dog rescue lands her in deep trouble. Trouble in the form of being lost in the dark forest of Northwood. A forest where ferocious black lions roam. A forest that hides a secret castle, an unlikely king and many a mystery. A forest where those who enter never return. But Cecilia is determined to find her way home. No matter what.
I like all of those things too-love the vibe I'm getting from the cover. Can't wait for it to be released!
