<\/a><\/div>\n

Lots of traveling lately on BooksYALove, especially on World Wednesdays as we look at life through the eyes of folks living outside the USA.<\/p>\n

Which is the real Australia – the remote Red Center where Gemma’s kidnapper has taken her, Stolen<\/a><\/i> from her parents in a busy airport?
The sleepy country town where Laura and Leon investigate the mysteries surrounding The Visconti House<\/a><\/i>?
Urban Sydney where The Reformed Vampire Support Group<\/a><\/i> meets every Tuesday night, trying to keep out of temptation’s way?<\/p>\n

Deo loves soccer and his family – will he have either one left after fleeing a massacre? Now is the Time for Running<\/a><\/i> as he suddenly becomes one of the many refugees struggling to enter South Africa.<\/p>\n

Maya’s trip from her birthplace in Canada to her parents’ homeland of India became a much longer and more perilous journey than she or her father ever imagined, as chronicled in the verse-novel Karma<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n

When I Was Joe<\/a><\/i> jumps right out of the headlines about urban London gang fights and the witness protection programme, followed by the gripping Almost True<\/a><\/i> – yes, Keren David is writing a third book about Ty right now.<\/p>\n

Trapped between a massive glacier and the frozen fjord, Solveig and her siblings pray for rescue by their royal father, listening for Icefall<\/a><\/i>, trapped in a mountain fort with a traitor.<\/p>\n

Louise suddenly went from the Connecticut suburbs to the decks and plush staterooms of the Titanic<\/i> as she unwittingly became The Time-Traveling Fashionista<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n

Of course, the River of Time series took us far away and far back in time, as Gabi and Lia traveled back to the 14th century from their archaeologist mother’s dig site in Tuscany. Swordfights, romance, and intrigue! Start with Waterfall<\/a><\/i> (first in the series), then continue the adventure in Cascade<\/a><\/i> and Torrent<\/a><\/i>. Lisa T. Bergren is working on the next book in the series, after her recent trip to Italy<\/a> for more research.<\/p>\n

More of the wide world coming up, as we travel soon to Iran, to the Moon, to the future, to Australia, and beyond with the BooksYALove (but won’t find on the bestsellers’ lists).<\/p>\n

Found this great statue of kids reading in Kingston, Jamaica.
