Waiting on Wednesday: Above by Leah Bobet


By: Leah Bobet
Published by: Arthur A. Levine Books
To Be Released on: April 1st, 2012

Matthew has loved Ariel from the moment he found her in the tunnels, her bee's wings falling away. They live in Safe, an underground refuge for those fleeing the city Above—like Whisper, who speaks to ghosts, and Jack Flash, who can shoot lightning from his fingers.

But one terrifying night, an old enemy invades Safe with an army of shadows, and only Matthew, Ariel, and a few friends escape Above. As Matthew unravels the mystery of Safe's history and the shadows' attack, he realizes he must find a way to remake his home—not just for himself, but for Ariel, who needs him more than ever before quoted from GoodReads

I am totally intrigued with this book. It sounds like it's going to be one of those really unique reads that will make it stand out among a lot of the YA books being released this year. I'm looking forward to sitting down to read it when it's out. What book are you waiting to get your hands on?
