Sea Change Giveaway

In honor of Sea Change's paperback release, I have one stellar summer giveaway for you.

16-year-old Miranda Merchant is great at science...and not so great with boys. After major drama with her boyfriend and (now ex) best friend, she's happy to spend the summer on small, mysterious Selkie Island, helping her mother sort out her late grandmother's estate.

There, Miranda finds new friends and an island with a mysterious, mystical history, presenting her with facts her logical, scientific mind can't make sense of. She also meets Leo, who challenges everything she thought she knew about boys, friendship...and reality.

Is Leo hiding something? Or is he something that she never could have imagined?

You can find out more about Sea Change on Aimee Friedman's Website or the publishers website

One winner will receive a paperback copy of Sea Change AND one of these awesome handmade bamboo mats!

How to enter?

Answer this question: What would you do if you met a mermaid? AND leave an email or way to contact you.

Get an extra entry for linking to this contest.

Ends JULY 15th. US ONLY.

Chapter Chicks said...: If I met a mermaid I know EXACTLY what I'd do. (after jumping for joy that I now have proof that I'm not crazy and that magical creatures and things still exist) I would ask him or her a million questions and then beg for them to take me home with them so I could live there too! :)

Jessica N. said...: If I met a mermaid I think I'd honestly probably think I was crazy at first! Then when I was sure I wasn't insane, I'd be ecstatic! Likely I'd probably ask the mermaid a million questions and then see if I could go visit :). That would be so cool!

flanpnhfpnanfnFN said...: If i met a mermaid...i think i'd want to ask him/her a lot of questions. What's it like to have fins? Do you ever get tired of the ocean?...and the mermaid would get annoyed with my neverending string of questions and swim away and then i would add it to the list of things that make me crazy-

Unknown said...: If i met one too I'd have to see if there was a way to become one, of course now would be bad timing to met a mermaid with the oil spill and all maybe i'd save it from the oil and bring it home with me ;); June 29, 2010 at 2:18 PM

Anushree said...: If I met a mermaid, I'd be curious to where they live. I'd ask her, and then also help her, cause of course she's probably gonna need some water! Unless we WERE in the ocean. I'd also take pictures of her to show people that I really did see one, but of course, I wouldn't capture her or anything. I'd just write a little about her down, but not share it too much. Mostly I'd make sure she would be comfortable and of course, safe.; June 29, 2010 at 7:41 PM
latishajean said...: If I saw a mermaid I think I would be thinking I was crazy and freck out and after the shock I would ask some questions about the world under the sea :)

Anthony L. Isom said...: If I met a mermaid, I'd experiment on her to divine the secrets of her powers. And then, once I'd exploited them, use them to reek havoc on the undersea world! Mwuhahahaha!!! (J/K). EMAIL: ridersofapocalypse07@gmail.com; June 29, 2010 at 10:35 PM

nymfaux said...: Oooooh, this book looks SO GOOD!!!!!!

If I met a mermaid...I would double-check if it was the good or evil kind, and if it was the good kind, I'd want to transform and swim everywhere and see everything--If it was the bad kind, I'd probably be unprepared, and it would not go well...

Anonymous said...: If I met a mermaid I'd probably spend several minutes freaking out it'd probably go something like this:
"oh my freaking god, this cannot be happening. This sort of crap happens in book, and it just doesn't happen to me."
Then after I calmed down I'd be asking every question that came to mind no matter how stupid the question was.

Bookish in a Box said...: If I met a mermaid, I'd probably asked her if she minded me poking around her tail a bit. I've always wondered how it really worked for swimming. It seems like they'd be a bit off-balance in the water.

skyla11377 said...: Well, if a met a mermaid first I would think I was seeing things or crazy. Then when the shock wore off I would have so many questions to ask. One in particular would be if I could be a mermaind for a day. I am not sure I would want to be one forever but it would be kool to see what being a mermaid would be like.

Eden said...: If I met a mermaid I'd probably be hesitant to believe it and then be shocked and then sooo amazed. Finally, though, I'd get to know her and see if we could become friends. Then I'd ask her if there was a way I could become like her. Some old family secret, maybe??

Cass said...: I love the idea of mermaids, and so I'd befriend them. Together we could do amazing things! :D Maybe after decades of spending time together, I can grow a mermaid's tail and gills, or whatever they have that allows them to stay underwater.
