Girl Meets Boy Blog Tour – and Contest!

I am very excited to introduce you to this creative and interesting work of short stories edited by Kelly Milner Halls.  Every story has two sides, right?  So what happened when Kelly Milner Halls asked 12 authors to write short stories that each told one side of parallel stories?  You get Girl Meets Boy. Learn how you can win a sopy signed by all 12 authors after the jump.

Girl Meets Boy tells 6 stories from both the boys and the girls point of view; to make it even more fun – a popular guy author writes the girls side of the story and a popular girl author writes the boys side of the story.  How they met, first kisses, and more.  It’s all there, every triumph and heartbreak that happens when Girl Meets Boy.

The authors in this book include: Chris Crutcher and Kelly Milner Halls (book editor), James Howe and Ellen Wittlinger, Rita William-Garcia and Terry Trueman, Joseph Bruchac and Cynthia Leitich Smith, Terry Davis and Rebecca Fjelland Davis, and Sarah Ryan and Randy Powell.

You and your teens can enter to win a copy of this book signed by all 12 authors! All you need to do is tweet (@TLT16, #the2012project), upload to the TLT Facebook wall, or e-mail me (kjensenmls@yahoo.com) a picture of your teens holding their favorite books.  These pics will be used as part of The 2012 Project.  No names will be included to protect everyone’s privacy.  One winner will be randomly drawn.  Contest runs January 29th – February 14th.

So celebrate what happens when Girl Meets Boy, when boy meets girl, and when everyone meets book (including this fabulous read).

Here is everything you wanted to know about Girl Meets Boy, including some additional contest opportunities on Wattpad.
