Note from Anastasia: I think our comments feature may be buggy on Ypulse Books, but we are giving away three free copies of Kaimira: The Sky Village to the first three commenters who let us know their thoughts on YA sci-fi. You can leave your comments here. Also, we're gone through Monday, back on Tuesday - have a great Labor Day weekend!
