About this title: Synopsis: Crushes, concerts, and conspiracies collide in this paranormal romance for teens!Contemporary YA fiction gets a "super" twist when award-winning author Isobelle Carmody applies her talent for adventure and suspense to a contemporary suburban setting and an offbeat, lovable cast of characters. The result is a young-adult novel with appeal for fans of everything from Twilight and Lost to Tamora Pierce and Ann Brashares. Alyzon Whitestarr doesn't take after her musically talented father or her nocturnal, artistic mother. In fact, she's easily the most normal member of a very eccentric family . . . until the day that an accident leaves her more unique than she ever could have dreamed. Suddenly Alyzon's senses and perceptions are enhanced to the nth degree. Colors are more vibrant, her memory is flawless, and even her sister's cooking tastes exquisite. But strangest of all is Alyzon's sense of smell. Through it, she can discern a person's essential nature and perceive the moods and intentions of others. Her new best friend smells of a comforting sea breeze. She registers her father's contentment as the sweet scent of caramelized sugar, and his anxiety over bills is acrid as ammonia. So why does the cutest guy in school smell so rancid? And what reason could he possibly have to ask her on a date? With Alyzon's extrasensory perception comes intrigue, danger, and romance. Will being different prove to be a blessing or a curse? First published in Australia in 2006, Alyzon Whitestarr won two Aurealis Awards for outstanding sci-fi and YA writing. About the Author: Isobelle Carmody began the first novel of her highly acclaimed Chronicles while she was still in high school. The series has established her at the forefront of fantasy writing in Australia. In addition to her young-adult novels, such as the Obernewtyn Chronicles and Alyzon Whitestarr, Isobelle's published works include several middle-grade fantasies. Her still-unfinished Gateway Trilogy has been favorably compared to The Wizard of Oz and the Chronicles of Narnia. The Little Fur quartet is an eco-fantasy starring a half-elf, half-troll heroine and is fully illustrated by the author herself. Isobelle's most recent picture book, Magic Night, is a collaboration with illustrator Declan Lee. Originally published in Australia as The Wrong Thing, the book features an ordinary housecat who stumbles upon something otherworldly. Across all her writing, Isobelle shows a talent for balancing the mundane and the fantastic. Isobelle was the guest of honor at the 2007 Australian National Science Fiction Convention. She has received numerous honors for her writing, including multiple Aurealis Awards and Children's Book Council of Australia Awards. She currently divides her time between her home on the Great Ocean Road in Australia and her travels abroad with her partner and daughter. Bibliographic Details.

Recent Comments. Archives. Categories. Alyzon Whitestarr — by Isobelle Carmody. 4.5/5 – a must-read. Publication: > 2005 – Penguin books. Awards: > 2005 Aurealis Award for best young-adult novel > 2005 Golden Aurealis for best novel. This book is a true gem. It’s written from the mature and intelligent viewpoint of Alyzon, a teenage girl who gains extraordinarily heightened senses after an accident. She is able to ‘smell’ people’s feelings and essences, communicate with animals, and see flashes of a person’s life after physical contact. This book tells the story of Alyzon struggling to cope with her new abilities as well as discovering a strange ‘sickness’ which affects certain people’s souls. When her musician dad receives generous, ongoing ‘support’ from a smell-less billionaire and when one of her sisters begins a dark transition, Alyzon truly realizes the sinister events happening around her and sets out to stop it, along with a group of friends. Pros: > complex plot with plot twists > many different types of relationships with family and friends > had me on the edge of my seat just about the whole way through > a cute romance > some really likeable or well-portrayed characters. Cons: > quite a thick, long book > couldn’t stop reading it :p > no sequel > I had a few desperate questions which weren’t answered by the end 1. What was Jesse typing? What was his dilemma? 2. What later happens to Serenity? Does she recover? 3. What later happens between Gilly and Raoul? *fingers crossed. Leave a comment about what you think about this book! Your rating out of 5?
