"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It lets us all gush about what soon-to-be released books we are jumping-up-and-down excited for.
hitting shelves May 9th, 2017
from Scholastic Press
Gwen, Pete, and the others have escaped from Everland. But the safe haven they hoped to find at Alnwick Castle doesn't exist. With the Queen of England on her deathbed, Duchess Alyssa has stepped in to lead, but things have gotten worse as the cure Doc created for the Horologia virus has mutated, accelerating the disease. The only possible solution he can think of is to go back to the virus's origin: an extinct poisonous apple.
Legend has it a tree bearing the apple might be found at the center of a deadly labyrinth hidden deep within Germany. A place that no one in their right mind enters. Leaving Pete in charge of the survivors, Alyssa sets out with only her sword, her wits, and the help of Maddox Hadder, a wild boy who oversees the castle gardens. To get to the center of the maze, she'll be forced to battle monsters more terrifying than her darkest nightmares.
But can anyone truly survive the madness of the maze? And what if there's no apple to be found there?

My thoughts: I wish you all could have seen my daughter's face when I told her the gang from Everland (one of her favorite books this year..and one of mine, too, actually!) was going to be mixing it up with Alice in Wonderland and running though mazes full of monsters in Germany. The. Pure. JOY.
So, here we both sit...waiting on Wednesday, and every day until May 9th when we can get our hands on this amazing thing!!
What book are you eagerly anticipating this week?
