The race runs from Wednesday, May 2 at noon Eastern to Tuesday, May 8 at noon Eastern and the winners will be posted on the Apocalypsies website on Wednesday May 9th. If you haven’t yet been to the Apocalypsies website, please click here to read the complete rules.
Everything changes the day she meets Fitz, a mysterious boy who appears out of nowhere and also reads minds. She discovers there's a place she does belong, and that staying with her family will place her in grave danger. In the blink of an eye, Sophie is forced to leave behind everything and start a new life in a place that is vastly different from anything she has ever known.
Sophie has new rules to learn and new skills to master, and not everyone is thrilled that she has come “home.” There are secrets buried deep in Sophie's memory—secrets about who she really is and why she was hidden among humans—that other people desperately want. Would even kill for.
In this page-turning debut, Shannon Messenger creates a riveting story where one girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world, before the wrong person finds the answer first. Coming October 2, 2012 from Simon and Schuster (Aladdin).
Got that? Good! You WILL be quizzed later. (Don't worry, I went out of my way to make the question easy). And if you're so bowled over by the awesomenes of that (or... feeling so loopy from hitting all these tour stops that you are DAZED AND IMPRESSIONABLE ) I should mention that you can pre-order Keeper through 50 Comments on The YAmazing Race with MGnificent Prizes!!!, last added: 5/5/2012

I'm part of the Killer Penguins team--and even though I'm not sure if that matters to you guys, I CAN'T resist posting a mascot photo:
Phew--I feel better now. Okay, on to the race!

Twelve-year-old Sophie Foster has a secret. She's a Telepath--someone who hears the thoughts of everyone around her. It's a talent she's never known how to explain.

I love the picture of the penguins! (I also love the show that they come from, Futurama). The swag pack looks pretty awesome, and I'll be keeping an eye out for your book in the stores this Fall.

I feel like I have a chance at winning this... Then I realize it's only the first day, and there are many more entries to come. So I'll just kiss my dreams away and wish you that absolute best with this book! It sounds more than awesome, to the point where it deserves it's own adjective... It is scrumdidliumtatious! (I know, it's a mouthful)
Loving the Yamazing Race!! Thanks for the giveaway. I'm excited to read your book :o)

I've never been interested in a middle grade novel, but after reading this synopsis...I'm really intrigued. This book would make an excellent movie!

It would be cool to have telepathic powers as long as I learned how to use it .

I love the sound of your book! I've been on a Middle Grade reading streak lately and I love it. Will definitely be adding your book to my to-read list

You hooked me. Telepathy is a power I always wanted to have. The world you created sounds mysterious, Sophie won't have an easy time but I think the readers are going to love it. I can't wait to share it with my own Sophie, who is a little younger than your heroine.
*crosses fingers*
By the way, that is an awesome mascot picture!
This giveway it's really awesome!Thank you for the chance to win your swags. :)
Not sure my timing is right for the swag... But I love your cover art and am excited to read your debut!
