Hello fellow book nerds!
Welcome to The Chronicels of Egg Series Giveaway!
Today I'll be sharing with everyone about a epic middle-grand fanasy series called "The Chronicles of Egg". A series Rick Riordan (author of The Lightning Thief) describes as "Lemony Snicket meets Pirates of the Caribbean, with a sprinkling of Tom Sawyer for good measure."

The giveaway consists of one paperback copy of The Chronicles of Egg Book One: Deadweather and Sunrise and one hardcover copy of The Chronicles of Egg Book Two: New Lands.
1 ONE winner takes all! ;)
I truly hope everyone will enjoy learning about the series. At the end of this post is of course the giveaway. Good luck!
Deadweather and Sunrise (The Chronicles of Egg #1)by Geoff Rodkey
Hardcover, 288 pages
Published May 29th 2012 by Putnam Juvenile
Genre: Fantasy
Reading Level: Middle-Grade
A stunning middle-grade debut--full of heart, humor, and nonstop action
It's tough to be thirteen, especially when somebody's trying to kill you.
Not that Egg's life was ever easy, growing up on sweaty, pirate-infested Deadweather Island with no company except an incompetent tutor and a pair of unusually violent siblings who hate his guts.
But when Egg's father hustles their family off on a mysterious errand to fabulously wealthy Sunrise Island, then disappears with the siblings in a freak accident, Egg finds himself a long-term guest at the mansion of the glamorous Pembroke family and their beautiful, sharp-tongued daughter Millicent. Finally, life seems perfect.
Until someone tries to throw him off a cliff.
Suddenly, Egg's running for his life in a bewildering world of cutthroat pirates, villainous businessmen, and strange Native legends. The only people who can help him sort out the mystery of why he's been marked for death are Millicent and a one-handed, possibly deranged cabin boy.
Come along for the ride. You'll be glad you did.

Thanks so much for the giveaway and author information! I think these both would be great reads for the summer and I look forward to them both!
ReplyDeleteI do have a question for Mr. Rodkey!
Do you have any advice for aspiring authors of this or any genre? Also...do you have any writing rituals like you have to flip the light switch a hundred times before you start or listen to classical music or something?
Thanks again guys!!!

What inspire you to have the series name The Chronicles of Egg? and What inspire to use Egg as part of the series title?
ReplyDeleteMy son (who is 12) will love this series (especially the name)! Can't wait to tell him about it and see if the school will order the books! (Keeping fingers crossed that I win the books for him) Thanks for the opportunity to win them!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he writes Good Luck Charlie! That's cool. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Chronicles of Egg sounds like a wonderfully fascinating series. My nephew would just love the series and I would very much enjoy sharing it with him. Thanks!
