Tantalize is in! Enter the contest...
Current mood: grateful

Tantalize is here! After we could not get a copy at Barnes and Noble (they were sold out!), author Cynthia Leitich Smith sent one to us.

She also sent some signed bookmarks, a Sanguini's magnet, and a Sanguini's T-shirt. Isn't that awesome?

Maybe you will be the lucky winner of the magnet and the T-shirt. Just post a blog comment here to express your excitement/gratitude/opinion of the book. Everyone (my students only) who replies will get a chance to win. Drawing will be on Friday, June 1, at 8:05 a.m.

Don't know about Tantalize yet? Read the reviews at Amazon
