Spooktacular Giveaway Hop- Take your pick-Mary Downing Hahn


Thanks for stopping by in your Spooktacular Giveaway Hopping. I'm sharing one of my favorite middle grade authors with you. Once you are done here all you need to do is click on the icon

<<<<<< right there

and it will take you back to the original post and the massive (YAY!) list of blogs taking part!

Big thanks to I Am A Reader, Not a Writer & The Diary of a Book Worm for organizing this (and us!).

I love Mary Downing Hahn and have for many, many years. Dating back to 1986 when I was a newbie at doing school visits for the library, WAIT TILL HELEN COMES was one of my go to books for book talking. A few months ago I talked about that book, along with GHOSTS OF CRUTCHFIELD HALL in a previous Marvelous  Middle Grade Monday post.  Mary Downing Hahn weaves a darn good ghost story.

So! 

Take your pick of anyone of her ghost stories (or, honestly if another one of hers is high on your list to read, pick that) and I will send a copy your way if random org picks your name. All you need to do is comment and let me know which on you would like. Open internationally, until midnight MST Oct. 31, 2011

Happy Hopping..................BOO!  AND-here is another one for you to enter if you like-Interview and giveaway with Judith Graves author of UNDER MY SKIN. Judith's an author of YA paranormal with bite!

    I loved Wait til Helen Comes when I was a kid. I still tell people that story. I botch it horribly, but I try. I don't know why it had such a memorable effect on me. I would probably get one of her ghost stories, but I'm not sure which one yet.

    I have to be honest and say that I don't think I have read her works before. The stories don't sound familiar.

    I would like The Doll in the Garden (although I really shouldn't since dolls terrify me).
