Here is a thing everyone wants:
A miracle.

Here is a thing everyone fears:
What it takes to get one.

Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars.

At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo.

They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect.

Maggie Stiefvater has been called “a master storyteller” by USA Today and “wildly imaginative” by Entertainment Weekly. Now, with All the Crooked Saints, she gives us the extraordinary story of an extraordinary family, a masterful tale of love, fear, darkness, and redemption. In a world of etiquette and polite masks, no one is who they seem to be.

Why I can't wait for this one!

I have several Stiefvater books sitting on my shelves, and have not yet read them....but I just couldn't resist featuring this one! Although I'm not Mexican, or even Mexican-American, I do appreciate and love Mexican folklore. This book sure looks like it will be a FASCINATING read, and heck, it's by MAGGIE STIEFVATER, who has a GREAT reputation in YA Fiction.!! 'Nuff said!! And I'm getting to those books on my shelves, which this one will soon join!! (BTW, the name "Bicho Raro" means "Strange Bug" in Spanish. )

New York Times bestselling author of The Shiver Trilogy, The Raven Cycle, and The Scorpio Races. Artist. Driver of things with wheels. Avid reader.

All of Maggie Stiefvater's life decisions have been based around her inability to be gainfully employed. Talking to yourself, staring into space, and coming to work in your pajamas are frowned upon when you're a waitress, calligraphy instructor, or technical editor (all of which she's tried), but are highly prized traits in novelists and artists. She's made her living as one or the other since she was 22. She now lives an eccentric life in the middle of nowhere, Virginia, with her charmingly straight-laced husband, two kids, two neurotic dogs, and a 1973 Camaro named "Loki".
