Win a signed copy of THE SEA OF MONSTERS

I have one Rick Riordan-signed paperback copy of Percy Jackson #2, The Sea of Monsters.

In order to win, you must:

1. be 12-18 years old,
2. able to pick it up at one of the Sno-Isle Libraries,
3. watch the following video, (all of it)
4. answer in the comments the questions I ask after the video:

(Yes, I know, I ask so much of you)



Would you want to read on one of those, or are you going to hold onto reading your paper books? What do you guys think about ebooks in general? What do you like/dislike about this whole issue? Why?

You have until 11:59pm on Sunday, March 14 to answer.

I'll draw one lucky winner from the comments. If you add interesting discussion by returning and interacting with other comments, you can earn more entries per substantive comment (meaning: only if those comments add something to the discussion), up to 3 entries per teen.

Are you an inventor?

Ashoka GenV and the Lemelson Foundation are having a cool contest: the Invent Your World Challenge. Fifty young inventors will use their creations to address a local or global challenge and create positive change.

Do you have an idea for a new technology or the adaptation of an existing technology that will help make life easier, the planet greener, or the world better?

Put together a team, submit a proposal, and you might qualify for a grant to make your dream a reality! And your team could also win a $20,000 in scholarship money!

Teens 12-20 can apply before March 15, 2009 here.
