Summer Giveaway #11: Nightshade City by Hilary Wagner (US only)

Rick Riordan blurbed this middle-grade animal fantasy adventure story by debut author Hilary Wagner. Rick Riordan! I'm stoked. I read Suzanne Collins' Underland Chronicles and this one seems like it will have a similar feel. I have an extra ARC of Nightshade City to give to a lucky winner! Check out the summary below to see whether or not you'd be interested:

Deep beneath a modern metropolis lies the Catacombs, a kingdom of remarkable rats of superior intellect. Following the Bloody Coup, the once peaceful democracy has become a dictatorship, ruled by decadent High Minister Killdeer and his vicious henchman Billycan, a former lab rat with a fondness for butchery. Three young orphan rats--brothers Vincent and Victor and a clever female named Clover--join forces with Billycan's archenemy, Juniper, and his maverick band of rebel rats as they plot to overthrow their oppressors and create a new city--Nightshade City. This impossible-to-put-down fantasy explores timeless themes of freedom, forgiveness, the bonds of family, and the power of love. [summary from Goodreads]
