A few months ago, I
reviewed a new book called
Undercover by Beth Kephart. I am ecstatic to announce that it recently received a starred review in
Publishers Weekly magazine (
Oct 1st issue)! Here's some highlights from the review:
Neatly balancing action and contemplation, Kephart offers a plethora of images, ideas about literature and even some well-known poems along with a plot that will speak to many teens.
In honor of this rave review, I'm holding a contest for a copy of
Undercover. I've never held a contest before so I'm super excited about this. In fact, I'm so excited that I'm also throwing in a mini "word journal" from Paperblanks. (See my earlier
review of
Undercover for an explanation of the word journal.)
Just leave me a comment or send an email to emsbookshelf (at) gmail (dot) com, and you'll be entered to win. I'll draw a name from a hat on October 30th. Think of it as a Halloween present!
Happy Reading!

p.s. Beth recently started
her own blog and she's been filling it with wonderful poems, pictures, and thoughts about the writing process. Make sure to check it out!
been so busy lately that I haven't posted anything, but I couldn't miss out on posting about this...
