In My Mailbox (10)

I am a day late with this, but yesterday was just a busy day for me! As always In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren!

From Publishers:

TANGLED
by Carolyn Macker
Published December 29th 2009 by HarperTeen
Hardcover, 320 pages

Summary: Jena, Dakota, Skye, and Owen are all at Paradise—the resort in the Caribbean, that is—for different reasons, but in Paradise their lives become tangled together in ways none of them can predict. Over the course of four months, through four voices and four stories, what happened in Paradise will change them all.

In this extraordinary novel, the Printz Honor–winning author brings us her most accomplished work yet. Tangled is a story of the secrets we keep, the risks we take, and the things we do for love.

HOW TO (UN)CAGE A GIRL
by Francesca Lia Block
Published March 1st 2010 in Paperback by HarperTeen (first published September 1st 2008 in Hardcover)
Paperback, 144 pages

Summary:
The pain of wanting to fit in

The joy of being consumed by love

The shame of not feeling at home in your body

The strength in learning you're beautiful

These are moments that every girl knows . . . for they are part of growing up, of uncaging yourself, from your childhood, your environment, your view of yourself. Francesca Lia Block follows the journey from girlhood to womanhood in this three-part poetry collection that channels girls' innermost feelings and experiences and celebrates women everywhere. It is a call to embrace the girl within, to heal her and set her free.
