YA Scavenger Hunt Winter 2012

Wel­come to YA Scav­enger Hunt! This tri-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 signed 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 TWO con­tests going on simul­ta­ne­ously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the RED TEAM–but there is also a blue team for a chance to win a whole dif­fer­ent set of twenty-five signed 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 home­page.

Direc­tions: Below, you’ll notice that I’ve listed my favorite num­ber. Col­lect the favorite num­bers of all the authors on the red 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 August 5, at noon Pacific Time. Entries sent with­out the cor­rect num­ber or with­out con­tact infor­ma­tion will not be considered.

Today, I am host­ing JOSEPHINE ANGELINI on my web­site for the YA Scav­enger Hunt! Josie grad­u­ated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in the­ater, with a focus on the clas­sics. She now lives in Los Ange­les with her husband. Her first two nov­els, Star­crossed and Dream­less, are both inter­na­tional best­sellers. Her third book God­dess comes out May 2013.

ABOUT GODDESS: After acci­den­tally unleash­ing the gods from their cap­tiv­ity on Olym­pus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them with­out start­ing a dev­as­tat­ing war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.To make mat­ters worse, the Ora­cle reveals that a dia­bol­i­cal Tyrant is lurk­ing among them, which dri­ves a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life hangs in the bal­ance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a ter­ri­fy­ing deci­sion, for war is com­ing to her shores. For a sneak peak at the first chap­ter, CLICK HERE. The pass­word to the first chap­ter of God­dess is — sneakapeek.

And remem­ber to enter the con­test for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me, JOSEPHINE ANGELINI , and more! To enter, you need to know that my favorite num­ber is 13. Add up all the favorite num­bers of the authors on the red team and you’ll have all the secret code to enter for the grand prize!
