I'm a huge fan of Kwame Alexander. Would love to have this sequel. Thanks
Andersen Press accidentally sent me more than one finished copy of Kwame Alexander's new YA book, 'Black Star', sequel to 'The Door of No Return'. If you're UK based & would like an early copy (publishes in feb) then just share this post by Friday 17th Jan & I'll pick 1 person to send a copy!
