Grim Giveaway

Remember to check out my book review of Grim.  Grim should be a book on your reading list.  Grim is a dark look at the afterworld and it's mythical and mysterious qualities.  It is complex and entertaining and has a very different feel to it than typical young adult novels. 

Grim Book Review

Check out the interview with Anna.  You can learn all sorts of things about a person and their book if you just ask.  So I did.  If you read the interview you will learn that Anna wrote the first draft while she was in high school.  Impressive.  She also won a award from scholastic but you will have to go and read about that.
