A 13tastic Giveaway: 13 Classroom Sets + Skype Visits!



Educator friends, to celebrate the launch of THE 13th SIGN in paperback, Macmillan and I are teaming together to give away 13 classroom sets of THE 13th SIGN, along with Skype visits! Here’s what’s included in each prize package:

-5 signed paperback copies of THE 13th SIGN
-An educator’s guide for THE 13th SIGN
-30 bookmarks
-A free 45-minute Skype visit with your readers!

How do you enter? Easy: simply email me anytime between Monday, October 13 and Friday, October 31 with the following information: your name, the school you work for, and your mailing address (in case you win!) Thirteen winners will be chosen from the entries. Please note that this giveaway is for U.S. educators (teachers, librarians, reading specialists, etc.) only. Thank you!

About the book:
What if there was a 13th zodiac sign? 


You’re no longer Sagittarius, but Ophiuchus, the healer, the 13th sign. 

Your personality has changed. So has your mom’s and your best friend’s. 


What about the rest of the world? 


What if you were the one who accidentally unlocked the 13th sign, causing this world-altering change, and infuriating the other 12 signs?  


Jalen did it, and now she must use every ounce of her strength and cunning to send the signs back where they belong. Lives, including her own, depend upon it.

THE 13th SIGN is a retelling of the twelve labors of Hercules, so a nice fit with a classics unit. Kirkus called it “the ultimate astrological fantasy.” Booklist recommends THE 13th SIGN for grades 5 – 8.


Thank you, friends! Good luck!

Since I don't need a classroom set (since all my students are in kindergarten or second grade) and I missed the deadline anyway, I'll leave the contest for others. However, I had to tell you that I love the link to the blog on your website. Very honest, and absolutely hilarious.

Caryn, ha! Thank you. You'd think I'd have figured it out by now (the link has been like that for 3-4 years now). Maybe one of my New Year's Resolutions? ;-) Thank you for stopping by!
