Today, I'm welcoming Medeia Sharif, whose new middle grade novel, The Attic of Sand and Secrets, releases this month. Be sure to enter the Rafflecopter giveaway at the end of this post! If you haven't visited Medeia's blog before, you can find the link below. She does great brief book reviews, and I've found quite a few books to add to my TBR pile via her reviews.
THE ATTIC OF SAND AND SECRETS by Medeia Sharif
Vendor links will be updated on Medeia’s site.
Middle Grade Historical and Fantasy, Featherweight Press, November 2014
Lily, a learning
disabled girl, attempts to unravel the mystery of her abducted mother using
supernatural clues from an ancient stranger, even when it means posing a danger
to herself.
Learning-disabled Lily desires
to prove herself, although her mind freezes when presented with big problems -
such as her mother's abduction. With a French father and Egyptian mother, Lily
worries that her mother hid her ethnicity from her French in-laws. However,
there's something deeper going on. Lily finds a way into an attic that's
normally locked and encounters a mysterious, moonlit Egyptian night world.
There she finds Khadijah, an ancient stranger who guides her to finding clues
about her mother's whereabouts. Lily becomes a sleuth in both the real world
and magical desert, endangering herself as she gets closer to the kidnapper.
The book takes place in 1976. Every host for this book blast
is going to post one fun fact for that year. For some of you, this will bring
back memories. For younger blog readers, you'll learn something new. My Fun Fact: Frampton Comes Alive!, a double album, was released.

Congratulations, Medeia!
I think I had that Frampton album...
It is a cool, mysterious cover. Good luck, Medeia.
Congrats Medeia! Tweeted for you!
Hugs and chocolate to everyone!
Congrats, Medeia! Sounds like a cool read, and Lily sounds like a fun character. And that may have been well before my time, but I still have (and play) that Frampton album.
That's a GREAT cover! And it's awesome to see a book with a learning-disabled protagonist. My wife's a teacher, and I bet she'd love to be able to give this to her students to read.
Congrats on finishing one flash fiction piece, Shannon!
And another congrats to Medeia! :)
I like the title...
Thank you for sharing, Shannon, and thank you all for the wonderful comments.
Shannon, perfect with having Medeia here today. She's amazing. I don't know how she does all that she does!!!
I am totally blown away by how many books Medeia reviews on a weekly basis. Seriously. I thought I was a fast reader until I met her. =)
