Waiting on Wednesday: Furthermore

Hello fellow bookworms!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases we are eagerly waiting for!

My pick for this week:

Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi
Release Date: August 30, 2016

Blurb from Goodreads:
There are only three things that matter to twelve-year-old Alice Alexis Queensmeadow: Mother, who wouldn’t miss her; magic and color, which seem to elude her; and Father, who always loved her. The day Father disappears from Ferenwood he takes nothing but a ruler with him. But it’s been almost three years since then, and Alice is determined to find him. She loves her father even more than she loves adventure, and she’s about to embark on one to find the other.

But bringing Father home is no small matter. In order to find him she’ll have to travel through the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore, where down can be up, paper is alive, and left can be both right and very, very wrong. Her only companion is a boy named Oliver whose own magical ability is based in lies and deceit—and with a liar by her side in land where nothing is as it seems, it will take all of Alice’s wits (and every limb she’s got) to find Father and return home to Ferenwood in one piece. On her quest to find Father Alice must first find herself—and hold fast to the magic of love in the face of loss.

I honestly cannot wait to read this book! Whether it be Middle Grade or not, I will pick it up as long as it is Tahereh Mafi’s work. She is one of the authors with a very unique writing style and I honestly think I will love this book as much as I loved her Shatter Me Series!

What about you? What are you most excited for this week? Let me know down below!

Much love,
