"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Ruby Red 
by Kerstin Gier
Publication Date: May 10, 2011

         My heart was thumping like crazy.  There must be something wrong with me.  Without being on an actual carnival ride, you couldn't possibly feel dizzy this often without something being terribly wrong.
         Unless . . . oh, nonsense!  I was probably just growing too fast.  Or I had . . .I had a brain tumor?  Or maybe, I thought, brushing that nasty notion aside, it was only that I was hungry.

Ruby Red is the first book in an amazing trilogy by Kerstin Gier!  First published in Germany, it was (finally) picked up by Henry Holt and published in America.  I'm so glad they did because it is such a great book!  Really funny, and intriguing!  Can't wait until Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green are printed in the US to complete the trilogy!

  1. Thanks for posting such a funny teaser. Haven't we all turned a headache into a brain tumor or a stomach ache into appendicitis ... in our imaginations? I'm ordering this book right now.
