Monsters and middle school and girls (oh my)!

Category Contests

I promised you another contest, and despite my pathological disorganization, here we go. This week you have your choice of two prizes, though both make my inner bookworm feel all warm and fuzzy.

Prize option number one is two books in the Girls’ Life series (yes, books from the folks who make the Girls’ Life magazine): Ultimate Guide to Surviving Middle School and Head-to-Toe Guide to You. This pair is perfect for your favorite female tween, assuming that you haven’t already sold her to the gypsies because of her mood swings. (I kid!! Obviously the gypsies aren’t going to pay.)

Prize option number two is the very cool You Can Count on Monsters illustrated book of factoring and prime numbers. Seriously, I know it sounds weird, but follow the link to take a look at it, because it’s both gorgeous and ingenious. This prize also comes with some themed stickers and flash cards, too, just for kicks.

So: Tween girl survival or artistic math geekiness. The choice is yours.

Want to enter? Of course you do! First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment telling me which prize you’d like to win by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, September 29th, 2011 for a chance to win. I’ll determine the winners via random number generation and also possibly by counting on monsters.

What are you waiting for? Go!
