January Book Giveaway - The Name of the Star (Maureen Johnson)

Courtesy of our friends at Harper Collins, this month we have a copy of The Name of the Star (A Shades of London Novel) by Maureen Johnson to giveaway.

Sixteen-year-old American girl Rory has just arrived at boarding school in London when a Jack the Ripper copycat-killer begins terrorising the city. All the hallmarks of his infamous murders are frighteningly present, but there are few clues to the killer's identity. “Rippermania” grabs hold of modern-day London, and the police are stumped with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. In an unknown city with few friends to turn to, Rory makes a chilling discovery…could the copycat murderer really be Jack the Ripper back from the grave?
