Well I don't do this often, but I wanted to reach out and thank those at Harper Collins, Lauren Oliver, and whoever else went into the giveaway over on Goodreads. I am a huge Lauren Oliver fan, and why this book (The Sprindlers) is well below my age range in books I would normally read; I just couldn't pass up the chance to pick up a book that was done by her, and open it's cover. I read the first page and it has her flair and finesse, I just can't wait to get into it. As well I would love to introduce this book, and author to any other young reader that hasn't stumbled upon her work yet. I find that Lauren Olivers creativity and her ability to appease not only to a young adult audience, but she also has a younger audience than that as well.
Title: The Spindlers
Author: Lauren Oliver

Release Date: October 2nd, 2012
One night when Liza went to bed, Patrick was her chubby, stubby, candy-grubbing and pancake-loving younger brother, who irritated and amused her both, and the next morning, when she woke up, he was not. In fact, he was quite, quite different.
When Liza's brother, Patrick, changes overnight, Liza knows exactly what has happened: The spindlers have gotten to him and stolen his soul.
She knows, too, that she is the only one who can save him.
To rescue Patrick, Liza must go Below, armed with little more than her wits and a broom. There, she uncovers a vast world populated with talking rats, music-loving moles, greedy troglods, and overexcitable nids . . . as well as terrible dangers. But she will face her greatest challenge at the spindlers' nests, where she encounters the evil queen and must pass a series of deadly tests--or else her soul, too, will remain Below forever.
From "New York Times" best-selling author Lauren Oliver comes a bewitching story about the reaches of loyalty, the meaning of love, and the enduring power of hope.
