Loony Blurbs is a meme running on every
second Thursday created by Emily @ The Loony Teen Writer where
bloggers create book blurbs only based on the titles! As you can guess, the
possibilities are endless. So without further ado, here is what I have created for this week's books:
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini
Taylor
The year is 2089. After one of the biggest
nuclear disasters the world has ever seen, Kaleigh seems like one of the only
survivors left. Plumes of smoke and bones from those who didn't make it are
scarred around the barren landscape and she is forced to find shelter before
it's too late. When Kaleigh finds her sister, alive, among the rubble she is
relived - although she isn't the same person she remembered. As new discoveries
are made in the midst of destruction, Kaleigh's life takes a whole new turn
that she never could have seen coming.
Walking on Trampolines by Frances
Whiting
Lucy is a gymnast and always has been ever since her parents first bought her a trampoline for her sixth birthday. Ever since then she has loved the feeling of soaring into the air with each jump, and took up trampolining as a sport, entering regional competitions which she very often won. However, after a tragic accident that hinders her ability to jump; she must again learn to walk.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by
C S Lewis
In the not-too-distant future, wild animals have been tamed and are able to be kept as pets. Hattie could have chosen anything she wanted, on one condition - no lions, because in their sleek apartment her mother couldn't stand the fact of a big cat ruining the furniture. When a strange old woman approaches her on the street claiming that she could make a lion smaller so that Hattie could hide it without her parents noticing, Hattie agreed. And so, the lion from that day forward was kept hidden in her wardrobe. All seemed well at first, but when the magic starts to wear off and her lion begins to grow once again, Hattie must face a whole new array of challenges.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by
Ann Brashares
Alice has made a different pair of pants from every holiday destination she has ever been to. All colours, shapes and patterns - she's got them. Her friends don't seem to understand her pant obsession very well though, leaving Alice lonely at school and her social life destitute. Her life takes an unexpected turn when leading fashion designer Lena DePant comes across her designs and is willing to work with Alice on creating a whole new line. This sounds like a perfect opportunity, but will Alice be able to handle the pressure?
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
The 'City of Bones' is just that - a city of bones. Ingrid doesn't think that the leaders were very creative with the name, but she has to admit that it's pretty darn accurate. Every house, monument and building is made up of the bones from the battles that the Kuba tribe has won. Soon enough, the bleak landscape gets a bit too much to handle. Ingrid wants to venture into the forbidden places - the 'City of Flowers' and 'City of Marshmallows', but whether she will ever get there is another question altogether. A story that can't guarantee to hit your funny bone, but still has some pretty humorous moments along the way.
The Disreputable History of Frankie
Landau-Ban ks by E Lockhart
Frankie always hated history in vampire school, which is kinda ironic considering she has quite a history herself. As a 150 year old vampire who's roaming 21st century London and posing as a human, she is suddenly struck by the fact that maybe she doesn't want to go drinking people's blood any more. Old memories resurface of the humans she has drained and she is forced to acknowledge some shocking truths about her true identity.
I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
Maya lives in Ancient Egypt where the Pharaoh rules without question and has power over everyone in the realm. The sun god Ra is worshiped every day, as he is the one who controls when the sun rises and falls. 'I'll give you the sun' were the last words that Maya's father told her before he disappeared, either to be sacrificed or taken by the Pharaoh's guards for some other sinister purpose. Stricken by this loss, Kaya undertakes an adventure to find the one light in her life and reunite her family.
So, what do you think of my blurb creations?
