We're Back! A Reviewer's Story

First off, we'd like to apologize for our absence these past weeks (besides weeks in YA of course). This summer has been surprisingly hectic seeing as no one seemed to be in one place for more than a week. But now with barely a week to the beginning of school, the YAthenaeum Team is back and ready to bring you even more contests, reviews, and everything you need to know about YA.

So, to slowly make our way back into the scene of YA, we'd like to show you this animated trailer of Maggie Stiefvater's upcoming novel Ballad. Maggie did a great job, didn't she? (On both the trailer and we're assuming the book.)

Also, while we're on the note of videos. Listening Library's Fantasy Road Trip Contest has come to an end, and while there are many great entries, we'd like to single out Lorena's entry because it's just too cute. We're rooting for her!
