Today, I'd like to introduce David Farland's new and exciting young adult novel,
Nightingale - an "enhanced" novel at that. As A. Benson, one of many reviewers, says, "I didn't get the whole enhanced book thing until I actually bought it. Its amazing. How cool is it that this book has its own soundtrack? And a good one!"
Nightingale is now top of my to-buy list.
NIGHTINGALE, by David Farland, YA FANTASY THRILLER
Bron Jones was abandoned at birth, forced into foster care, and passed from home to home. At age 16, he’s alone and friendless, a complete outsider—until he gets one last chance. He's sent to live with a wondrous teacher, Olivia, who recognizes him for what he is: a "Nightingale," a creature not quite human.
Now, epic forces combine to pull Bron apart, stripping him from the only real parents, friends, and girlfriend he's ever known. Bron must risk everything to answer the mysteries: "Where did I come from? What am I? Who am I?”

A beautifully crafted experience: stunning art, haunting music and delightfully subtle animated accents all accompany a riveting and deeply human story. There is (quite literally) nothing else like it.”
