Young Wizards Gothic

You walk into a lush park. A squirrel runs halfway up a tree. A thousand squirrels run halfway up a tree. You grip your dog’s leash and pray he will let you escape.

Entropy is increasing. Entropy is always increasing, and there’s nothing you can do about it. You try to slow it down, but it keeps coming after you. Your sister won’t give you her lightsaber.

You have met Death. Death has met you. You think you might be frenemies.

You toss a coin in the koi pond. A koi fish surfaces and speaks to you in sonnets. You have wandered into the wrong yard.

Your summer fling stares at you from across the fence. Your lips still tingle from his kiss. It is not a natural tingle. “Who are you,” you ask. He cannot answer. Even he does not know.

Your alien boyfriend is cuddling on the couch with you. Your alien boyfriend is learning how to bake a birthday cake. Your alien boyfriend is frustrated at how many official functions he has to attend. Your alien boyfriend vanished several years ago.

Falling leaves in the forest make an eldritch design. The trees have been working on the design all year. You have trod across the design. You have disturbed the design. You are now part of the design.

Death is Benedict Cumberbatch. Death is a beautiful woman in a gazebo. Death is an otter. Death is afraid of your little sister’s robot children.

Millions have emerged from the fertile womb of your little sister’s mind. From across the lightyears, you can hear them whisper in the night as they improve your bandwidth. You are using it to download Doctor Who.

DiYA's Fantasy & Science Fiction Month Giveaway

This month (well, roughly — we mean Sept. 7 - Oct. 7, 2015) we are doing something special here at Diversity in YA: focusing on fantasy and science fiction with main characters who are non-white, LGBTQ, and/or disabled. What does it mean to have diversity in fantasy and science fiction? How do you do that in a secondary world fantasy that isn’t set in our real world, or in a novel that’s set in the future on a distant planet? Some authors this month will be writing about these questions, and others will be sharing the stories of how they came to write their fantasy and science fiction novels.

To kick it all off, we’re starting with a giveaway of five new and upcoming YA fantasy and science fiction novels that present worlds filled with diversity:

Wonders of the Invisible World by Christopher Barzak (Knopf)

Trail of the Dead by Joseph Bruchac (Tu Books)

Sound by Alexandra Duncan (Greenwillow)

Court of Fives by Kate Elliott (Little, Brown)

Serpentine by Cindy Pon (Month9Books)

Here are the giveaway rules:

Five winners will be drawn; each will receive one book.

Winners must have a U.S. mailing address; we are unable to ship internationally.

Each person can have one free entry.

Teachers and librarians are allowed an extra entry.

Additional entries are available if you’d like to signal boost. (And thanks!)

The deadline to enter is Oct. 6, 2016. Winners will be contacted shortly afterward.

Forgive me, love, if I forsook you

I was mistaken, I’ll not deny

But love cannot be cured, love must be endured

Love, ‘tis as ivy, ‘till the day I die.
