Gift-giving gives me great joy and the gift of a book is the best! So, I hope you'll win one of two contests available for my newest Mermaid Tale chapter book, The Crook and The Crown (Dec. 15th). One is here on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...) and the other is on the blog of an amazing young man (and I do mean teenage!)named Erik. On This Kid Reads Books you can win my newest book, Mermaid Tales T-shirt, mermaid Barbie, and a whole slew of mermaid goodies. Oh, and did I mention it is a poetry contest? All you have to do is write a fun mermaid poem and one will be selected randomly to win! Check it out at http://thiskidreviewsbooks.com/2015/1...The Crook and the Crown Good luck and Happy Holidays (for me that means Merry Christmas!), Debbie
