New Release: The Mark by Jen Nadol



There are some really great books coming out in 2010 by debut YA authors, also known as The Tenners.  One of the books I have been keeping my eye on is The Mark by Jen Nadol (Bloomsbury, January 19, 2010). 

Sixteen-year old Cassie Renfield has seen the mark since forever: a glow around certain people as if a candle were held behind their back.

The one time she pointed it out taught her not to do it again, so Cassie has kept quiet, considering its rare appearances odd, but insignificant. Until the day she watches a man die. Mining her memories, Cassie realizes she can see a person's imminent death. Not how or where, only when: today.

Cassie searches her past, her philosophy lessons, even her new boyfriend for answers, always careful to hide her secret. How does the mark work? Why her?

Most importantly, if you know today is someone's last, should you tell?
