Vengeance Road • Erin Bowman
When her father is killed by the notorious Rose Riders for a mysterious journal that reveals the secret location of a gold mine, eighteen year-old Kate Thompson disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers–and justice. In the spirit of True Grit, acclaimed young adult novelist Erin Bowman brings to life the unpredictable and cutthroat days of the Wild West.
Friends, I’ve had VENGEANCE ROAD on my TBR for months now, but THE COVER IS OMG. I’m completely fascinated with the Old West. I’m not as well-read in it, but I love it. I love cowboys and wagon trains and the frontier. This book has all of that going on AND MORE. A secret journal and a hidden gold mine? STOP. JUST…I CAN’T. My body is ready.
VENGEANCE ROAD comes out on September 1, 2015 from HMH Kids
Yesssss. I am so, so, SO dang excited to read Vengeance Road! It sounds really different from what’s out there currently in YA, which I love, and I can’t wait to get a little Western in my reading 😉
