Waiting on Wednesday - A Tyranny of Petticoats




Welcome to Waiting On Wednesday here at

 Winterhaven Books!

This week's pick...

A Tyranny of Petticoats by Jessica Spotswood
Expected publication: April 12th 2016
by Candlewick
From an impressive sisterhood of YA writers comes an edge-of-your-seat anthology of historical fiction and fantasy featuring a diverse array of daring heroines.
Criss-cross America — on dogsleds and ships, stagecoaches and trains — from pirate ships off the coast of the Carolinas to the peace, love, and protests of 1960s Chicago. Join fifteen of today’s most talented writers of young adult literature on a thrill ride through history with American girls charting their own course. They are monsters and mediums, bodyguards and barkeeps, screenwriters and schoolteachers, heiresses and hobos. They're making their own way in often-hostile lands, using every weapon in their arsenals, facing down murderers and marriage proposals. And they all have a story to tell.
With stories by:
J. Anderson Coats

There is a single word in the above synopsis that I do not LOVE!! Look at this killer list of authors as well! This is sure to be epic.
