Hello and Welcome!

Red House Books is going through a bit of a update!

I've always had a pretty clear vision of what I wanted this space to be but I've been detoured from my path by...lots and lost of other people's opinions and ways of doing things...

I'm committed to this little chunk of the interweb but I've also branched out into other places so! Now it's time to think of Red House Books as more of a hub of all things me! And Me is a hell of a lot of book love!

Stay tuned!

Giveaway: Win a copy of Spaceheadz! by Jon Scieszka

Spaceheadz! by Jon Scieszka

The perfect combination of the age old experience of holding and pouring over a physical book with newest media technology that kids love!
Michael K. just started fifth grade at a new school. As if that wasn't hard enough, the kids he seems to have made friends with apparently aren't kids at all. They are aliens. Real aliens who have invaded our planet in the form of school children and a hamster. They have a mission to complete: to convince 3,140,001 kids to BE SPHDZ. But with a hamster as their leader, "kids" who talk like walking advertisements, and Michael K as their first convert, will the SPHDZ be able to keep their cover and pull off their assignment?

Enter for a chance to win a copy of Jon Scieszka's new middle grade book Spaceheadz! PLUS a neon Spaceheadz pencil!

Jon Scieszka is the author of one of my favorite children's book, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. So, when I was asked to hold this giveaway for his latest creation, I was thrilled! I just finished reading the book myself and I loved it! Perfect for young readers (or young at heart readers ;) Stay tuned for my review.
