The Different Girl
by Gordon Dahlquist
Hardcover, 240 pages
Expected publication: February 21st 2013
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Four nearly identical girls on a desert island. An unexpected new arrival. A gently warped near future where nothing is quite as it seems.
Veronika. Caroline. Isobel. Eleanor. One blond, one brunette, one redhead, one with hair black as tar. Four otherwise identical girls who spend their days in sync, tasked to learn. But when May, a very different kind of girl—the lone survivor of a recent shipwreck—suddenly and mysteriously arrives on the island, an unsettling mirror is about to be held up to the life the girls have never before questioned.
Sly and unsettling, Gordon Dahlquist’s timeless and evocative storytelling blurs the lines between contemporary and sci-fi with a story that is sure to linger in readers’ minds long after the final page has been turned.
I love the cover and the plot sounds interesting.
What are you waiting on?
Love sci-fi and it sounds very intriguing. Curious what is happening with these girls on the island.

Sci-fi combined with a confined island setting - definitely not something I've come across before! I hope to see some reviews closer to the release date...

I have never heard of this book - but I like the look and sound of it! The yellow is a great color to use for hair AND the title. I love books set in the future! Great choice!
