Extraordinary October. It's about a high school senior, October, who thinks she's completely average in every way.  A few days before her 18th birthday, she begins to change.  She's taller, she can understand animals, crows are chasing her, and it seems she can run through walls.  She's never even been kissed and now two guys are interested.  Turns out she's half fairy, half troll, heir to the kingdom of both, and someone is trying to kill her.

Extraordinary October Playlist

A detailed playlist for each character, and each character's particular magical creature and abilities.


And don't forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of books by me, KIM BRIGGS, and more! To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is 15. Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the PURPLE TEAM and you'll have the secret code to enter for the grand prize!

Kim

FIRST SNOW by Bomi Park: Classroom Activity and Review

By Alison Green Myers

(We also made a mess-- which is kind of my modus operandi during writing workshop. Sorry, Kelley! ) I used the sentence starter from the jacket copy: Look up. One flake falls, then another.

SCBWIEPA Pocono Highlights #2: Get into Character
