Tom McNeal, Coronado resident and the father of two Coronado teens, has written a new novel that will be published by Random House books on June 11, 2013. Far Far Away is a contemporary fairy tale that Booklist calls “reminiscent of Hansel and Gretel . . . a masterful story of outcasts, the power of faith, and the triumph of good over evil” and the Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books calls “enchanting, romantic, and tinged with terror . . . a fascinating and beautifully written homage to its source material.” The novel has been selected as an Amazon Teen Spotlight Title for the month of June.
The first 26 pages can be read for free at Random Buzzers (http://www.scribd.com/doc/139989972/Far-Far-Away-by-Tom-McNeal#.Uay3z2TF3IZ), the Random House website for teens. To listen to a ten-minute sample of the Listening Library audio book, visit http://mcnealbooks.com/Book.aspx?id=19.
