I’m happy to be able to offer you guys a giveaway wherein one of you lucky ducks will win The Colors of Madeleine Prize Pack in Purple! I’ve read A Corner of White, and while it took me a little bit to get into it, once I did I enjoyed it quite a lot! It’s imaginative and unlike anything I’ve really read. You’ll see my review up tomorrow!
*US Only!
A tale of two worlds, told in brilliant color.
Readers have loved bestselling author Jaclyn Moriarty since The Year of Secret Assignments. Now she gives them A Corner of White, the first in a suspenseful, funny, genre-busting trilogy that brings her fantastic characters, laugh-out-loud descriptions, and brilliant plotting to a fantasy setting.
Madeleine and her mother have run away from their former life and settled in a rainy corner of Cambridge, England (in our world).
In another world, in the Kingdom of Cello, Elliot is in search of his father, who disappeared on the night his uncle Jon was found dead. The talk in the town is that Elliot’s dad may have killed Jon and run away with the physics teacher. But Elliot refuses to believe it. And he is determined to find both his dad and the truth.
As Madeleine and Elliot move closer to unraveling their mysteries, they begin to exchange messages across worlds — through an accidental gap that hasn’t appeared in centuries. On both sides of the gap, even greater mysteries are unfolding — with more than one life at stake.

Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard says
My favorite color? Lots of them are purples… a sort of dark purple with just a hint of red in it (always reminds me of the phrase “the wine-dark sea”)… a soft bluish purple like the wild periwinkles blooming at the edge of the woods by my house … a deep royal purple… the color of violets… and the pinky-purple of redbuds in flower.
