Thanks to Courtney Brach of Touchstone Publicity/Simon & Schuster, Inc., I am giving away on copy of The Kings and Queens of Roam.


Book Description:


Helen and Rachel McCallister, who live in faraway Roam, are as different as sisters can be.  Helen is bitter and conniving, while Rachel, seven years younger, is naïve, trusting—and blind. But Rachel is beautiful, and Helen—Helen is not. 


After their parents’ untimely deaths, Rachel comes to rely on her older sister for everything, and Helen embraces her role in all the wrong ways, casually and cruelly convincing Rachel that SHE is the ugly sister, and that the world is a dark and dangerous place she couldn’t possibly survive on her own.  Through ever-more elaborate stories, Helen creates an isolated, foreboding world full of boneyards, malevolent trees, flesh-eating bids, and worse—and so it remains until Rachel grows older and makes a decision that will change their lives forever.  


BOOKLIST *STARRED* REVIEW: “Wallace’s eerie fairy tale for grown-ups is a melancholy yet enchanting pastiche of love, loss, redemption, and revenge.”
