Debut 2009 Blog Tour: Saundra Mitchell
Please welcome debut author Saundra Mitchell!
About Shadowed Summer
Nothing ever happened in Ondine, Louisiana, not even the summer Elijah Landry disappeared. His mother knew he ascended to heaven, the police believed he ran away, and his girlfriend thought he was murdered.
Decades later, certain she saw his ghost in the town cemetery, fourteen-year-old Iris Rhame is determined to find out the truth behind "The Incident With the Landry Boy."
Enlisting the help of her best friend Collette, and forced to endure the company of Collette's latest crush, Ben, Iris spends a summer digging into the past and stirring old ghosts, in search of a boy she never knew.
What she doesn't realize is that in a town as small as Ondine, every secret is a family secret.

****************************
Now it’s Build-a-Superhero time! Because building bears is lame. (No offense, bears … but you are all on notice; this should not surprise you.)
What would your superpower be?
Flight and invisibility. Hey, I didn't know I could turn invisible when the flight manifested, so I accidentally got two when I took that irradiated antarctic ice serum.
What color would your tights be?
Black on black, dude. With black accents.
What would your Kryptonite (aka weakness) be?
A makes-my-food-touch ray.
Animal sidekick?
Capuchin monkey, of course!
Monkey sidekick with razor-sharp pretzel shuriken!
Advice to young superheroes:
Look, the villains are going to put your loved ones in danger anyway. You may as well give up on the secret identity thing- there's no point in lying to everybody to prevent something that's inevitable!
Thanks for stopping by, Saundra!
