Hi Michele! I got a copy of this from the author, so I'll review as soon as I'm done with it. It'll be a bit since I'm already R2Ring other books.

LOL - There is a Lord of the Flies reference and I originally based two of the characters on Samneric, but they changed quite a bit as the story developed.
Hi Michele, sorry I didn't reply back sooner. I didn't receive any notifications.. If the book is still up for R2R I'd still love to. I need epub format please.

Hi, I was hoping I could read a copy of this. I just recently joined this group, after this book was posted for review. I just saw Michele's message about older books that still had spots open being available for review, and this one has caught my eye. I have one other R2R request currently out (Forever Fae). My only request/caveat is this: Since this book has been waiting for reviewers for quite some time, I'm wondering if it would be okay if I had a deadline of, say, mid-January for my review (instead of two weeks)? What with Christmas just a week away and my son being out of school for 2 weeks starting tomorrow, I know I wouldn't be able to meet a 2-week deadline!
If that's okay, I'd love to read and review the book! My email is hmbryan(at)alumni(dot)duke(dot)edu. I have a Kindle, so mobi would be great. (If it's being gifted from Amazon, I think you need my other email address - bryanholly34(at)gmail(dot)com) THANKS!

Title: The Urchin
Author: Adrianne Ambrose
Genre: YA PN Dystopian Fantasy
Synopsis:
"The Urchin is a departure from Adrianne Ambrose’s previous books - the darkness is palpable. I love the spare, dystopian world that the residents of The Urchin inhabit.
Within the first few sentences of The Urchin, the reader learns that there has been cataclysmic change - the world as we know it no longer exists. Nick, a pilot, is on his way to New Washington when he is forced to make an emergency landing in a barren, hostile wasteland that appears to be empty of human existence.
The tell-tale sound of squeaky bicycles alerts Nick that he is not alone. The rag-tag bunch of boys who find him take him back to The Urchin, one of the last standing buildings in the area. It is a school turned fortress, by necessity the last line of defense between the boys who survived The End and the enemies who lurk in darkness.
Once Nick is inside The Urchin we meet Vance, the defacto leader of the surviving boys of the Stanton Military Academy. Vance is the heart of the novel. He is The Urchin - it is his guidance and leadership that keeps the boys alive. It is his story that tugs at your heart. It is his strategy and decisions that keep you surprised.
If Vance is the heart of the story, Johnny is its soul. Johnny is charismatic, thoughtful, funny, and is able to lift everyone's spirits. Vance and Johnny are best friends. Together, they lead the survivors of The End. Unfortunately, Johnny was attacked on a scouting mission and became a vampire. While "vamping out" should have marked the end of their friendship, Vance and Johnny not only remain friends but continue to work together to keep the kids alive."
