I saw this cover over on Shannon Messenger’s blog and I just had to share because I instantly fell in love with this book.

Summary (Amazon.com)
Life in a small town can be pretty boring when everyone avoids you like the plague. But after their father unwittingly sends them to stay with an aunt who’s away on holiday, the Hardscrabble children take off on an adventure that begins in the seedy streets of London and ends in a peculiar sea village where legend has it a monstrous creature lives who is half boy and half animal. . . .
In this wickedly dark, unusual, and compelling novel, Ellen Potter masterfully tells the tale of one deliciously strange family and a secret that changes everything.
Doesn’t that sound like an awesome read? I’ll be looking forward to this one!
