Movie Cast Challenge

This is a fun one! Pick any book you've read in 2013 and create a movie cast for us!

So, I'm actually not great at doing things like this...but while reading The Infernal Devices series, I knew EXACTLY who I wanted to play Tessa.  Will and Jem are more up in the air for me, but here's who I picked!

Tessa

Evan Rachel Wood

Will

Steven Strait

Jem

Ryan Gosling

The Star Dwellers by David Estes--on sale for .99 cents!

The Star Dwellers is the second book in the amazing Dweller Saga Series by David Estes.  This is seriously one of my favorite YA dystopians ever!  And you can download it for only .99 cents on Amazon, B&N, Smashwords, and Google books!!

After rescuing her father and younger sister, Adele is forced to leave her family and Tristan behind to find her mother in the cruel and dangerous realm of the star dwellers. 

Amidst blossoming feelings for Adele, Tristan must cast his feelings aside and let her find her own way amongst the star dwellers, while he accompanies Adele's father to meet with the leaders of the moon dwellers and decide the fate of the Tri-Realms.

Will Adele be able to rescue her mother and make it back to the Moon Realm before the President and the sun dweller soldiers destroy her family?

Can Tristan convince the moon dweller puppets of the error of their ways?

Was Adele's lost kiss with Tristan her one and only chance at love?

In her world there's only one rule: Someone must die.

The darkest minds

Dystopian

Paranormal

Fantasy

Sci-Fi

Contemporary

Suspense

Historical
