To go alongside my Debut Drool List these are the books I would love to be able to read this month.
Title: Unrest
Series: POSSIBLY!!!!!!!Author: Michelle HarrisonPublisher: Simon & Schuster Childrens BooksPublication Date: 26 April 2012Synopsis from GoodreadsSeventeen-year-old Elliott hasn't slept properly for months. Not since the accident that nearly killed him. Sometimes he half-wakes, paralysed, while shadowy figures move around him. Other times he is the one moving around while his body lies asleep on the bed. His doctors say sleep paralysis and out-of-body experiences are harmless - but to Elliott they're terrifying.
Convinced that his brush with death has attracted the spirit world, Elliott secures a job at a reputedly haunted museum, determined to discover the truth. There, he meets the enigmatic Ophelia. But, as she and Elliott grow closer, Elliott draws new attention from the dead. One night, during an out-of-body experience, Elliott returns to bed to find his body gone. Something is occupying it, something that wants to live again - and it wants Ophelia, too . . .
How good does this look!!!!
