The Uprising by Lisa M. Stasse
Hardcover, 400 pages
Expected publication: August 6th 2013 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Synopsis:
In this dystopian sequel to The Forsaken, Alenna has survived the brutality of life on the wheel—and now she’s going back for more.
Alenna escaped. It was expected that she would die on the wheel, the island where would-be criminals are sent as directed by the UNA—the totalitarian supercountry that was once the United States, Mexico, and Canada. But Alenna and her boyfriend, Liam, made it to safety. Except safety, they will soon learn, is relative.
In order to bring down the UNA, they must first gain control of the wheel. If the mission succeeds, the wheel will become a base of revolution. But between betrayals, a new Monk leading a more organized army of Drones, and the discovery of a previously unknown contingent, Alenna, Liam, and their allies might be in over their heads. One thing Alenna knows for sure: There will be a reckoning. And not everyone she loves will make it out alive.

My Thoughts:
Okay, I don't know if you guys knew that the cover came out for this book but it looks absolutely amazing, that I just had to blog about it. I found out about it on wednesday when I visited someones waiting on wedneday post. (Sorry I can't remember whose post I visited.) It looks absolutely spectacular and matches completely with the first book, which I still have not read yet. I am kicking myself for not reading it yet. It is very high on my tbr list and I plan on reading it really soon, especially with this book coming out in August. Can't wait to dive into this story.
Let me know what you think about this cover in the comments. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Thanks for visiting
and
Happy Reading. =]
