     Cover of gringolandia by Lyn Miller-Lachmann

Looking for a book tour that's unique? Then you might consider checking out the first BronzeWord Teen YA Book Tour, highlighting Gringolandia.

What makes this book tour exceptional is that each blog Lyn Miller-Lachmann will visit is run by a teenager. These are fabulous teens doing fantastic things with books, reading, and reviewing. Each teen has their unique view on the world of books and invite everyone on this tour to read their blog to learn that teens are hot on what makes good reading fun.

There will be an autographed book given to the lucky person picked from the people who leave a comment with their email addy at each blog.

A brief description of the book:
Though haunted by memories of his father's arrest in Pinochet's Chile, Daniel Aguilar has made a new life for himself in the United States--far from politics. But when his father is released, Daniel sees what years of prison and torture have done. Trying to reach his father, Daniel, along with his "gringa" girlfriend, finds himself in the democracy struggle of the country he thought he left behind.
