Ready for a Contest?

This contest has ended. Thanks for playing!

First of all, I'm going to show off the cover Kregel decided on for Book 5, Trouble with Treasure! Want to learn more? Go HERE.

And now . . . drum roll . . . A Journey Through Learning, a Lapbook company, has spent the summer creating delightful Lapbooks for all of the CCA books.

If you're not sure what a Lapbook is, it's a hands-on approach to learning, made from 3 file folders and a packet of colorful booklets students cut out, fill out, and paste into the constructed file folders. The study guides and booklets tie in history and writing/literature with the novels. I wasn't familiar with Lapbooks before this summer, but I'm impressed with AJTL's professional look and full-color booklets. Here is an example from the Lapbook for Long Ride Home.




And now for the contest! I am giving away a Lapbook AND a copy of one of my CCA books. YOUR CHOICE!

Here are the rules:
1) Leave a comment here, telling me which book and matching Lapbook you would like to win. Here are your choices:
#1- Long Ride Home
#2- Dangerous Decision
#3- Family Secret
#4- San Francisco Smugglers

2) Leave your E-mail address so I can contact the winner (if I can't find your contact info, I will draw a different name from the "hat")

3) I can ship only to U.S. or military addresses. Sorry!

*** Contest ends August 30 ***

If you would like to learn more about the Lapbooks for the Circle C Adventures, go to A Journey Through Learning, where you can buy them as a download to print out yourself!

Or you can see them on my website's Lapbook page and order a book and a Lapbook from there.

Good luck with the contest!

My daughter is just getting old enough to read these books. I'd like to start with book #1, Long Ride Home.

I'm glad to see that your books are doing well and you're busy! Such a good thing for a writer to be in this depressed economy.

Have a good day!

I would choose A LONG RIDE HOME. It is always best to start at the beginning. Our daughter has just decided to start homeschooling our grandson this year. This would be a great resource for her. As a former teacher and children's librarian, I love the lapbook concept. I've always believed in hands on learning. Gideon loves animals and they have a mini-farm. This series would be enjoyable.
More books in this series would be nice, plus maybe a series with boys as main characters. Working at the county library and ordering books, I've notice it is much easier to find books for girls than it is for boys.
My email address is librarypat@comcast.net.

I'd love to win #1-The Long Ride Home. We're just going to start reading the series, and would love the lapbook. We own the book, but have a friend who would love this series as well, so we'd probably bless her with the book.

Hey Susan,
I had to enter this one. I personally think book 1 is the best place to start. That is the one that I would pick.

I am also planning to purchase several of the books for my other nieces.
