Welcome to the (Sweet) 16th YA Scavenger Hunt!

 

 

 

 

 

Hello there! I’m Sarah Glenn Marsh, and I’m excited to be your hostess for this leg of the hunt.

About Me:

I love scary movies and books.

Kit-kats are my favorite candy.

Now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, let’s meet the author I am hosting on this hunt:

INTRODUCING… THE SUPER-TALENTED GINA DAMICO!!!

 

ABOUT GINA: Gina Damico grew up under four feet of snow in Syracuse, New York. She has since worked as a tour guide, transcriptionist, theater house manager, scenic artist, movie extra, office troll, retail monkey, yarn hawker and breadmonger. She is the author of the grim-reapers-gone-wild books of the Croak trilogy (CROAK, SCORCH, and ROGUE), HELLHOLE, WAX and WASTE OF SPACE, all published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books for Young Readers. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two cats, one dog, and and obscene amount of weird things purchased at yard sales.

 

Find out more information by checking out Gina’s website and buy WASTE OF SPACE here!

 

 

 

She’s here to tell us about her latest book, WASTE OF SPACE!

Cram ten hormonal teens into a spaceship and blast off: that’s the premise for the out-of-this-world reality show Waste of Space. The young cast members are over-the-top, ready to fall to pieces at the drop of a space helmet, and completely ignorant of the fact that the production will be fake. Hidden in a desert warehouse, their spaceship replica is equipped with state of the art special effects dreamed up by the scientists partnering with the shady cable network airing the show.

Waste of Space is a tremendous success. Millions of people tune in. Ratings are through the roof.

And then something goes wrong.
And just as the cast members start to suspect something has gone wrong,
And just as the viewers start to know that something has gone wrong . . .
All communication is severed.

Now no one can tell what’s real and what’s fake, instability and paranoia loom large, and the only way for the cast to figure out what’s going on is for them to work together. The kids stumble closer to the truth, dread seeping into every corner of the ship as they find out what happens when a reality show loses its grip on reality.

 

!!!BONUS MATERIAL ALERT!!!

Check out Gina’s original sketch of the Laika, the ship in the book!

This is my original sketch of the Laika, the spaceship into which all ten Spacetronauts of WASTE OF SPACE are crammed. I don’t know why the shape of a bottle occurred to me, but since it worked out quite nicely for what needed to happen on the ship, I kept it. It also allowed for plenty of camera angles – an actual logistical element for a reality television show, but one that also let me explore the narrative from several points of view at the same time. Also, it has a hot tub.

Don’t forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of books by me, Gina Damico, and more!

To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is 13

Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the green team and you’ll have the secret code to enter for the grand prize! Just look at all these awesome books from Team Green:

  23. Bella says:

    Quite honestly, I’ve been on a Harlequin kick lately that came out of left field so I don’t have any 2018 suggestions for you for YA books. I can tell you qhich Harlequin books to burn. I could suggest a couple non 2018 H. titles. I do know that my fav author has books out this year. Gina Ciocca. Also a part of YASH. Busted and A Kiss In The Dark. I suggest both. They’re still on my to read list, but they’re Gina Ciocca books, so they’re going to be fabulous.

  24. Natalie says:

    I just finished reading Gemina by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff (the sequel to Illuminae) and I AM SHOOK. I read the first one a while ago and thought it was incredible. I don’t read a lot of “space” based Sci-Fi novels because they’ve never really clicked with me (I prefer alternate realities or time travel personally if I’m going to read Sci-Fi ;D) but the first one was INCREDIBLE and the second one BLEW ME AWAY even further – cannot WAIT to get around to reading Obsidio. If you haven’t read it yourself yet, please PLEASE do. I love it so much ;u;

    (Just beware, the cliffhangers may kill you. Fairly sure I died multiple times while reading.)

  25. Angie says:

    Rebecca Ross The Queen’s Rising

  26. Ali Goff says:

    I just read and thoroughly enjoyed Ready Player One. Now off to see the movie.

  27. Debi says:

    I just finished reading Tiger’s Dream by Colleen Houck. I’m a huge fan of the Tiger’s Curse series and have been waiting for years for this book to get published! Now that I’ve read it, it was so worth the wait! All my questions were answered and the book is packed with a bunch of surprises. By the end of the book I did something I don’t normally do… I cried! It was so good I couldn’t help it! Highly recommended!

  28. Jessica says:

    I read Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King!! Loved it!

We’re having a great time with them – he is so excited to get in bed every night and read them as a bedtime story. <3

  33. Gurlay says:

    I’m currently reading The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. I’m loving it!

  39. Shannon Fay says:

    i recently read the Wild robot and the wild robot escapes, by Peter Brown. They were great books, with adorable illustrations, a heartwarming story about a robot that turns wild and lives among the animals, and good underlying messages about family and inclusion and stuff. It was awesome

  40. Megan Coppadge says:

    I would say the Jackaby series has been a favorite this year. I won the second Jackaby book so I bought the first and it took awhile to finally read them but as soon as I started the first I quickly ordered the third and fourth. It’s not what I expected and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Sherlock Holmes comparison confused me in the first two books but book number three and it clicked. I just started the final book and I’m excited to see how the series will end! 🙂

  41. Cassandra says:

    I finished Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore a couple weeks ago, and totally loved it! It was completely unexpected and such a fun read. Thanks for doing a bonus giveaway!
