Let's not beat around a Kansas prairie bush.
Someone won an autographed copy of Caroline Starr Rose's new May B. and a May B. journal.
Everyone wants to know - who won it?
Congratulations Lynn from Denver!
Caroline Starr Rose is sending an autographed copy of her brand new novel in verse directly to you!
May B. was published just a week ago by Schwartz and Wade (Random House Children's Books).
The winner was chosen completely randomly among my email subscribers (see image below).
(Read on for a preview of a new book giveaway.)
Lynn, get ready.
This gorgeous novel in verse by Caroline Starr Rose will transport you straight from Colorado to the Kansas prairie—to the endless grassland, and to the suffocating closeness of the sod house where May is stranded.
"May is helping out on a neighbor’s homestead—just until Christmas, her pa promises. But when a terrible turn of events leaves her all alone, she must try to find food and fuel—and courage—to make it through the approaching winter...."
Lynn, I wish you a happy "trip" to Kansas and do tell us your impressions!
For all those who want to find out more about Caroline Starr Rose's impressive new historical verse novel May B., you can read more about it in the interview that she recently gave for this blog.
More good news for my email subscribers ... a new no-strings-attached book giveaway is coming from another fab children's author!
Who is it, you ask?
Well, all I can say is that one of her books is featured on the list of bestselling children's chapter, treasury and non-fiction books. Yes .. look carefully. Her first name begins with one of the letters that you can find in the word "Kansas".
Ahhh ... yes - I love puzzles! :-)
And ... I promise you will be able to choose your favorite book in the giveaway from her website if you win.
Yes, you heard me right! I'll fill you in all the details soon.
I leave you with a lovely trailer for May B. (click on the title of the book in this sentence, if you do not see the video in your email) and a downloadable May B. study guide (in PDF).
Have a great week.
Speak to you soon.
