It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year…. YA Scavenger Hunt is here!

 

 

Welcome to YA Scavenger Hunt! This bi-annual event was first organized by author Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to exclusive bonus material from their favorite authors…and a chance to win some awesome prizes! At this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize–one lucky winner will receive one book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for 72 hours!

Go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page to find out all about the hunt. There are 3 contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the BLUE TEAM–but there is also a red team, and a purple team for a chance to win a whole different set of books!

If you’d like to find out more about the hunt, see links to all the authors participating, and see the full list of prizes up for grabs, go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page.

 

Directions: Below, you’ll notice that I’ve listed my favorite number. Collect the favorite numbers of all the authors on the blue team, and then add them up (don’t worry, you can use a calculator!). 

Entry Form: Once you’ve added up all the numbers, make sure you fill out the form here to officially qualify for the grand prize. Only entries that have the correct number will qualify.

 

Rules: Open internationally, anyone below the age of 18 should have a parent or guardian’s permission to enter. To be eligible for the grand prize, you must submit the completed entry form by SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4TH, at noon Pacific Time. Entries sent without the correct number or without contact information will not be considered. Please enter ONCE! Multiple entries will disqualify you! 

 

 

 

Today, I am hosting HELEN VIVIENNE FLETCHER on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt!

Helen Vivienne Fletcher is a children’s and young adult author, playwright and spoken-word poet. She has written numerous books for young people, including Broken Silence, which was a finalist for the Ngaio Marsh Best First Book Award. She explores many different genres in her writing, sometimes all at once, in the same book.

A prophecy…
A new student…
A pot plant growing out of control…

One of these things could save Toby. The trouble is, which one?

When Toby arrived at this school six months ago, learning magic seemed like a dream come true. Now he’ll be happy if he and his classmates just get out of here alive.

With teachers, other students and their own spells against them, will Toby save his friends from the dangers they face? Or is he the one they should really fear? 
  

And now, here’s Helen!   
 

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all having a great time making your way through the maze of authors to find those secret numbers.

I’ve participated in YASH a few times, and each time my friend has helped me make a playlist to go with one of my books. She was very sad to hear this was the last time YASH would be running as we’ve really loved putting together these book soundtracks for you.

This year’s one is for my darkly magical novella, Reactive. Some of these songs are ones I listened to while writing, others are ones we thought fit the story or that the characters might listen to. Whether you’ve read Reactive or not, there’s some great tunes in there, so have a listen as you carry on with the hunt.

As a bonus bonus for the last YASH, if you’d like to check out the previous book soundtracks we made, you can find them here:
