Prepare for a massive young adult scavenger hunt brought to you by the Alliance of Young Adult Authors! This is a chance to meet some new authors, grab a bunch of free books, and sign up to win a whole bunch of epic prizes! How does it work? I have no idea! Let’s read on!
RULES
Each author will be given a special keyword, which will be bolded and all caps like this: BUTTERFLIES.
All you have to do is visit all the author’s sites in this order, write down the special keywords to discover the short story, then enter the giveaway with the completed secret legend HERE.
There will be one main giveaway for the main prize, but most of the participating authors will also have smaller giveaways for free books, amazon credit and author swag, so make sure you read their post carefully to see what else they’re offering while you’re on their site for the keyword.
