Book Trailer Premiere - The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy by Nikki Loftin
When Lorelei's old school mysteriously burns down, a new one appears practically overnight: Splendid Academy. Rock-climbing walls on the playground and golden bowls of candy on every desk? Gourmet meals in the cafeteria, served by waiters? Optional homework and two recess periods a day? It's every kids's dream.
But Lorelei and her new friend Andrew are pretty sure it's too good to be true. Together they uncover a sinister mystery, one with their teacher, the beautiful Ms. Morrigan, at the very center.
Then Andrew disappears. Lorelei has to save him, even if that means facing a past she'd like to forget - and taking on a teacher who's a real witch.
What Lorelei and Andrew discover chills their bones - and might even pick them clean!
Nikki's husband is a seriously talented photographer and his brilliance can be seen here. Take a look!

Book Trailer Debut - The Right & The Real by Joelle Anthony
The Right & The Real by Joelle Anthony
April 26th, 2012 from Putnam Juvenile
From the author of Restoring Harmony. Kicked out for refusing to join a cult, 17-year-old Jamie must find a way to survive on her own.
Jamie should have known something was off about the church of the Right and the Real from the start, especially when the Teacher claimed he wasn’t just an ordinary spiritual leader, but Jesus Christ, himself. But she was too taken by Josh, the eldest son of one of the church’s disciples, and his all-American good looks. Josh is the most popular boy at school too, and the first boy outside the drama geeks to give Jamie a second look. But getting her Dad involved in a cult was not part of the plan when she started dating Josh. Neither was her dad’s marriage to the fanatic Mira, or getting kicked out, or seeing Josh in secret because the church has deemed her persona non grata.
Jamie’s life has completely fallen apart. Finding her way back won’t be easy, but when her Dad gets himself into serious trouble, will Jamie be ready to rescue him, and maybe even forgive him?

Book Trailer Debut - The Mapmaker & The Ghost by Sarvenaz Tash (+Interview)
I am thrilled to debut the super cute book trailer for The Mapmaker & The Ghost! Up first, a quick interview with debut author Sarvenaz Tash. Kick back and follow the jump for the book trailer.

What was the working title of MAPMAKER?
Oh, boy. I am notoriously awful at titling things. We went through a list of 72 suggestions before we hit upon The Mapmaker and the Ghost. I will tell you that when I first started writing it, it was called - you'll laugh - Goldenrod Moram and the Spitbubble Master. Yes, that is awful. For a bit of time, it was also called The Legendary Adventures of Goldenrod. Which I do still like, though I think The Mapmaker and the Ghost is really what it was meant to be all along.
When talk of cover art first started, what were your concerns and what did you want most?
You know, I really didn't ever visualize the cover because I knew that it probably wouldn't look like whatever I thought it should in my head so why set myself up for that? I also knew that there were going to be professionals working on it who were infinitely more talented in that department than I was. I was just excited to see what they came up with and I was not in the least bit disappointed. The illustrations by Gerald Guerlais were more beautiful and perfect than anything I could have ever dreamed up.

Book Trailer Debut - Pretty Crooked by Elisa Ludwig
I am so excited to be able to share Elisa Ludwig's awesome book trailer for her even more awesome book, Pretty Crooked. You've seen that cute little purple cover and you have even wondered what was in that bag besides money. I know you have...
Pretty Crooked by Elisa Ludwig
March 13th, 2011 from Katherine Tegen/Harper Collins
Things couldn't be better for 15-year-old Willa Fox: Her mom has just moved them to beautiful Paradise Valley, playground for the rich and powerful. Already Willa's been welcomed into the inner circle of her school's most exclusive clique and she's attracted the attentions of the superfine Aidan Murphy. But when Willa finds out that her new best friends are actually bullies, she decides she has to take a stand—even if it means taking the law into her own hands.
The cover reveal for Pretty Crooked was way back in early July last summer. I was immediately drawn to it and asked Elisa for an interview about the art and design. To read that interview, jump HERE.
And here we go!
Doesn't this look and sound like a movie or something from ABC Family? Love the Robin Hood*ish premise where a girl gives back to the poor. I think it will be interesting to see how she can balance being friends (maybe?) and then stealing from them. I think I can picture the final showdown now... This one shot to the top of my TBR list!

Book Trailer - Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann
Simon & Schuster posted the book trailer to the much anticipate new title from Lisa McMann:
The small town of Cryer's Cross is rocked by tragedy when an unassuming freshman disappears without a trace. Kendall Fletcher wasn't that friendly with the missing girl, but the angst wreaks havoc on her OCD-addled brain.
When a second student goes missing—someone close to Kendall's heart—the community is in an uproar. Caught in a downward spiral of fear and anxiety, Kendall's not sure she can hold it together. When she starts hearing the voices of the missing, calling out to her and pleading for help, she fears she's losing her grip on reality. But when she finds messages scratched in a desk at school—messages that could only be from the missing student who used to sit there—Kendall decides that crazy or not, she'd never forgive herself if she didn't act on her suspicions.
Something's not right in Cryer's Cross—and Kendall's about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried.
