Why Did I Read? There are certain YA contemporary authors that are auto-buys for me, which is a little rare because I typically don’t gravitate toward YA contemp nearly as much so when I say one is an auto-buy, it’s serious business!

It is set on a space ship taking a group of kids out to Eden — they are competing for a limited number of spots to go there and mine nyxia – a substance only found on this other planet. Their family gets compensated handsomely by this […]
