This is a great contest.
In my library the books are always out and maybe with the audios available, I could hook more readers on listening.

I just received my two free poetry audiobooks. It was such fun to be a winner. Maybe I’ll be lucky again. Our middle school students love the Maximum Ride books. Glad to know that Patterson will be presenting at AASL.

I’ve not heard of this series of books before. Sounds like they would have a great appeal to the kids who use our base library.
