Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers to share which books we are most anticipating.
This week I am waiting on Piper by Jay Asher and Jessica Freeburg (10/31/17):
Description on Goodreads:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Jay
Asher and co-author Jessica Freeburg brilliantly reimagine the classic Pied
Piper legend as a powerful graphic novel about loneliness, love, and vengeance.
Fans of Neil Gaiman and Through the Woods
by Emily Carroll will devour this eerie, atmospheric retelling.
Long ago, in a small village in the middle of a deep, dark forest, there lived a lonely, deaf girl named Maggie. Shunned by her village because of her disability, her only comfort comes from her vivid imagination. Maggie has a gift for inventing stories and dreams of one day finding her fairy-tale love.
When Maggie meets the mysterious Piper, it seems that all her wishes are coming true. Spellbound, Maggie falls hard for him and plunges headfirst into his magical world. But as she grows closer to the Piper, Maggie discovers that he has a dark side.
The boy of Maggie's dreams might just turn out to be her worst nightmare...
With striking illustrations from Eisner-nominated artist Jeff Stokely, Piper is an exciting new departure for Jay Asher that deftly touches on the same themes of truth, guilt, and redemption that made Thirteen Reasons Why a beloved bestseller.

Why I’m Waiting:
I love Jay Asher. I’d probably read anything he writes.
Also, I’m excited to see what a fantasy story by him looks like. I love the
Pied Piper story and I don’t think I’ve ever read a YA that covers it. All in
all, this looks like something I’ll love. I can’t wait for Halloween!
What are you waiting on this week?
