know more about these Secret Surprise Bags, eh? Each Wednesday I will post a mini-contest here where you can get a chance to win a bag filled with:- One super awesome book (either brand new or autographed).
- Candy.
- An assortment of the newest and greatest Sno-Isle Libraries swag.
- Really cool pins.
- More books.
- A really random surprise.
This week's Mini Contest is for a Secret Surprise Bag containing an autographed copy of the wonderful book The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by local author Sherman Alexie.I really LOVE this book. Not only is it a great story, moving, thoughtful, and really funny...it as terrific illustrations by one of my favorite local artists Ellen Forney. If you want to celebrate great teen reads, this is a perfect place to start.
How can you win the Secret Surprise Bag containing this awesome book?
Write haiku about your favorite teen books! No limit to how many haiku you write...only one can be the winner, but it won't be a random drawing...it will be the one I like best :D
Here is an example I just made up for Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson:
Melinda won't talk.
Lonely in crowds, carrying
Secret from party.
Top haiku will be selected Wednesday October 12, 2011.
Winner must be a teen (12-18 or 6th-12th grade) in Snohomish or Island Counties who uses a Sno-Isle Library.

I apologize for the delay. I was totally overthinking this! The "one I like best" is KJ's entry for The Book Thief. Her pun in the last line put it over the top for me. So clever! I'll be sending her prize pack on to Marysville tomorrow :D
