Olivia Bean Trivia Queen is on a must read bookshelf in my classroom and ready to be signed out by a 6th grader. So is How to Survive Middle School. I would love to win the prize pack to share with and for the benefit of my 119 incoming 6th graders. A skype visit would be the icing on the cake.
What a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance - was just telling librarians in my district that you are a great author to skype with! :)
