YA Summer Scavenger Hunt

Hello all you wonderful readers! I have an exciting scavenger hunt for you today that is going to be massive amounts of fun, sponsored by the Alliance of Young Adult Authors. This is a chance to meet some new authors, grab a bunch of free books, and sign up to win a whole bunch of epic prizes! In addition to the $500 grand prize, each of the authors will be offering free books and other prizes on their individual sites.

RULES

Each author will be given a special keyword, which will be bolded and all caps like this: BUTTERFLIES.

All you have to do is visit all the author’s sites in this order, write down the special keywords to discover the short story, then enter the giveaway with the completed secret legend here:

>>Enter Secret Legend to Win the Grand Prize<<

There will be one main giveaway for the main prize, but most of the participating authors will also have smaller giveaways for free books, amazon credit and author swag, so make sure you read their post carefully to see what else they’re offering while you’re on their site for the keyword.

Open June 1st ~ June 7th

Just go through the “treasure map” above to find the keywords and reconstruct the secret legend. Once you’ve got it, enter for the grand prize HERE. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for other giveaways or free books as you search for the keywords, most authors will be offering their own prizes as well.

TIMELINE

Authors will post the rules and the full list of participating authors and have their post up and visible on their site/blog, with their keyword, by June 1st. Readers just need to go through the list, find the words, and use the story to enter for the grand prize.

Have fun! And may the best “scavenger” win! (be sure to check back here on June 1st for the secret word post and a free book!).

For rules, updates or trouble-shooting, make sure to check out this main post which will stay updated.
