All this week, to celebrate Children’s Book Week, we’re having a daily book giveway. To enter the giveway, just come back and visit our blog every day and leave a comment each day.
Today’s book for the giveaway is Running Scared by Brenda Chapman.
About the Book: Feeling somehow to blame for her father’s absence, thirteen-year-old Jennifer Bannon struggles to hang on to her dream that he will return and they can be a family again – a dream that doesn’t include her mother’s new boyfriend, nights of looking after her little sister or a ninth grade year that is rapidly going down the toilet. Finally – after two years of waiting – Jennifer learns that her father is back in town, and suddenly the dream seems within reach. However, hope quickly turns to horror when Jennifer witnesses an event that threatens to tear apart her family and perhaps destroy the life of someone she loves.
Will Jennifer be able to unravel the mystery in time, or will keeping a secret turn deadly?
Yay, for children’s book week. I’m taking my kids to the library this evening to pick out some books.
Wow, that books sounds great I would love to win that one.
Now, lets go read.
this sounds like a good book …
i LOVE to read children’s lit and YA … and then I know a few teens/pre-teens who love to read — we often share “well, what have you read recently that you think I’d like” conversations
This looks like a lovely book. The kids would love it. Thanks for the chance.
