Exciting video.... looking forward to reading the book.....doesn't look as if it is only for teens either... or that cuts me out!

Wow! This looks like a great book -- why limit it to teens? Looking forward to reading it in September!

Hit on this beautiful video by chance. If the book is anything like as good as this it should be terrific - just the right story for our time.

What a great video - looks like a feature film already ! But I guess it's a book, so I'll watch out for it in September. Los Angeles and Scotland. Hmm. Sounds interesting.
