Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature at Breaking the Spine.
My pick this week is Poltergeek by Sean Cummings. This will be released in October 2012. This is from the new Young Adult imprint by Angry Robots, Strange Chemistry. Ever since I read Zoo City, I have been enamored by Angry Robots and I'm glad they will be publishing Young Adult novels soon. I also think they do a great job with their covers! Of all the YA books coming out from Strange Chemistry, I think this is the one I'm most excited about.
Summary from Goodreads: 15-year-old Julie Richardson is about to learn that being the daughter of a witch isn't all it's cracked up to be. When she and her best friend, Marcus, witness an elderly lady jettisoned out the front door of her home, it's pretty obvious to Julie there's a supernatural connection.
In fact, there's a whisper of menace behind increasing levels of poltergeist activity all over town. After a large-scale paranormal assault on Julie's high school, her mother falls victim to the spell Endless Night. Now it's a race against time to find out who is responsible or Julie won't just lose her mother's soul, she'll lose her mother's life.
Angry Robots sent me this but I haven't read it yet. They are also releasing a book called The Assassin's Curse around the same time, it is one of the best books I have read this year. You should look it up if you like the publiisher. Great picks. Love the blog, new follower on GFC : )

I've only read one book by Angry Robots, Zoo City, but they have so many great sounding books. I'm excited they have this YA imprint now. So many of the books sound and look amazing!
