I'm very interested in reading Borderline because it's an atypical story that appears to be a book that goes the distance.

That's fantastic, Ms. D! I loved Chanda's Secrets - such a powerful read. At the bottom of the interview is a link to Allan's blogs about filming Chanda in South Africa - really amazing and worth a look.

I am the librarian at a small high school and am completely engrossed in "Chanda's Secrets." I was thinking it would be an excellent choice for an upcoming "All School Reads" event, when I saw this interview about Mr. Stratton's newest book. "Borderline" sounds like it might be an equally wonderful choice. I'm at a Catholic school where students come from diverse religious backgrounds including Islam and the book’s exploration of spirituality and faith would surely offer many opportunities for interesting discussion and reflection. I can’t wait to read "Borderline."

Since reading the above post I have been intrigued. This novel sounds like it is really apart of your life and that you have taken the time to put a bit of yourself into the pages. It is for this reason I would love to read Borderline.

Thanks

Ever since I first heard of Borderline a few weeks ago, I've been really intrigued! It's a wonderful combination of YA subgenres that don't seem at first impression to fit together, but when combined it actually sounds fascinating.

I would love a chance to read Borderline! As a Muslim-American teen, I love the fact that there are actually YA books being written about us, and I really want to read them all =D
