Exciting news Buzzers! One of our fav authors, Alyssa B. Sheinmel, is embarking on a Book Blog Tour throughout the Fall to chat about her new book, The Stone Girl! We're pretty excited to get a hold of a copy as not only is it one of BuzzGirl's August new release picks, but Alyssa will be visiting us later this fall!
We've posted not only the book summary, but Alyssa's full tour schedule below! Follow us on Twitter at @AlyssaSheinmel, @RandomHouseKids, and @RandomBuzzers to keep up with the tour!
About The Stone Girl:
Sethie Weiss is hungry, a mean, angry kind of hunger that feels like a piece of glass in her belly. She’s managed to get down to 111 pounds and knows that with a little more hard work—a few more meals skipped, a few more snacks vomited away—she can force the number on the scale even lower. She will work on her body the same way she worked to get her perfect grades, to finish her college applications early, to get her first kiss from Shaw, the boy she loves, the boy who isn’t quite her boyfriend.
Sethie will not allow herself one slip, not one bad day, not one break in concentration. Her body is there for her to work on when everything and everyone else—her best friend, her schoolwork, and Shaw—are gone.
From critically acclaimed writer Alyssa B. Sheinmel comes an unflinching and unparalleled portrayal of one girl’s withdrawal, until she is sinking like a stone into her own illness, her own loneliness—her own self.
