Today's pick is:
YOU AGAINST ME (Jenny Downham)
If someone hurts your sister and you're any kind of man, you seek revenge, right? If your brother's been accused of a terrible crime and you're the main witness, then you banish all doubt and defend him. Isn't that what families do?
When Mikey's sister claims a boy assaulted her at a party, his world of work and girls begins to fall apart. When Ellie's brother is charged with the crime, but says he didn't do it, her world of revision, exams and fitting in at a new school begins to unravel.
When Mikey and Ellie meet, two worlds collide. Brave and unflinching, this is a novel of extraordinary skillfulness and almost unbearable tension. It's a book about loyalty and the choices that come with it. But above all it's a book about love - for one's family and for another.
To be published 2nd December 2010 by David Fickling Books.
I am so very excited for this title! My sister gushes about Before I die and this one holds a premise just as good. And I loove the cover - don't you just feel the longing for their forbidden love? *sigh*
I hope they take out the Before I Die cover at the bottom though, too bright for the cover and a little distracting. I'm sure they can do with a one liner to replace that, right?

This book seems like it would be filled with unbearable tension... which just makes me want to read it more!!
Check my pick out HERE
This sounds amazing!
I love this cover...and completely agree that the other book blurb is distracting.
Nice pick...and thanks for participating in WoW!
Ooh sounds very chilling. I didn't like Before I Die too much to be honest but this sounds more my thing. Interesting cover too, though I agree, I don't like the bit at the bottom (did they use Word 2010 to do that bit? Vecause there is this feature on it that does the exact same thing...) Thanks for sharing!
Also, I finished Evermore! I really liked it :P. Shoot me an email when you've got the time with your address so I can send it back (I realise you wrote it on the back of the package but due to crappy English weather, the rain smudged it off...)
awesome pick - preordered it ages ago - can't wait
THis looks like a great read. Thanks for the recommend :)
Here's my WOW for the week
Never heard of this book before. It sounds fantastic! I love the cover too. Great WoW. Here's mine.
I love the sound of this one and I can't wait for it to come out! I second taking away the sticker thing about Before I Die, it's totally unnecessary!
This one sounds brilliant, doesn't it? I agree about the Before I Die inset though, it really 'interrupts' the mood of the cover for me.
Wow this sound amazing. Great premise. Great pick!
Ooh, this sounds like an amazing read! And the cover is so nice. Great pick!
Sigh. I really can't wait much longer for this one!
