Ok everyone I need help
Does anyone know of a book that has on the cover or in the book (character in book) chewing gum?
I'm in this other challenge and I'm stuck
Please help!!!!!

Any page # or genre restrictions, Jennifer?

~ character steals bubblegum (mystery/thriller)
~ Violet Beauregarde is always chewing gum
~ apparently, on page 135, "Benito Hoover made him a present of six packets of sex-hormone chewing-gum" ... "Sex-hormone chewing gum is used in this novel as an artificial means of gaining sexual satisfaction. It is normally consumed by men."

Seems like Biting is the tricky one

Sounds like a vampire to me :)

At least you've got plenty of time to find one Sarah :)

This looks like fun, and like I might even be able to complete it on time :)
