After the panels at the ALAN Workshop, the authors are available for silent signings. Since I had two copies of THREATENED, I asked Eliot to sign the second one for a giveaway on my blog, which he was happy to do.
A bit about THREATENED...and the entry form below.
Title: THREATENED
Author: Eliot Schrefer
Publisher: Scholastic
Release Date: February 25, 2014
Number of Pages: 288
Into the jungle. Into the wild. Into harm's way.
When he was a boy, Luc's mother would warn him about the "mock men" living in the trees by their home -- chimpanzees whose cries would fill the night.
Luc is older now, his mother gone. He lives in a house of mistreated orphans, barely getting by. Then a man calling himself Prof comes to town with a mysterious mission. When Luc tries to rob him, the man isn't mad. Instead, he offers Luc a job.
Together, Luc and Prof head into the rough, dangerous jungle in order to study the elusive chimpanzees. There, Luc finally finds a new family -- and must act when that family comes under attack.
As he did in his acclaimed novel Endangered, a finalist for the National Book Award, Eliot Schrefer takes us somewhere fiction rarely goes, introducing us to characters we rarely get to meet. The unforgettable result is the story of a boy fleeing his present, a man fleeing his past, and a trio of chimpanzees who are struggling not to flee at all.
Enter to win a SIGNED ARC of THREATENED by Eliot Schrefer!

ReplyDeleteMy 6th graders cannot get enough of Endagered....thanks for letting us know that there is more to come!
ReplyDeleteOh...and my favorite animal book is Giraffes Can't Dance. :)
ReplyDeleteEndanged has been on the "to read" list for awhile!
ReplyDeleteWhoops -- and my favorite animal related books include The One and Only Ivan and Charlotte's Web. There are too many picture books to mention, but Goodnight Gorilla is always a favorite!
ReplyDeleteEndangered was my favorite book I read last year! I knew once I read it, I had to read it aloud in my classroom! My students loved it! I'm excited to read Threatened.... hoping it's just as good and I could too read it aloud to my 8th graders!
