The GIVE UP THE GHOST giveaway is now over. Thanks to everyone who participated! Keep an eye on the contest page for future giveaways!
It’s time for another GIVE UP THE GHOST giveaway! Open to everyone in the world.
What you could win:
What it’s all about
In GIVE UP THE GHOST, Cass is on a mission to expose her fellow students’ bad behavior. With the help of her ghostly friends, she catches kids lying, cheating, spreading rumors, vandalizing, stealing, and bullying both in school and online. And Cass herself has been the victim of rumors and bullying.
Those sorts of cruelties and crimes happen in the real world all the time. Did you ever do something you probably shouldn’t have, or find yourself a victim? Are you willing to expose those wrong-doings?
How to enter
Send your stories about junior high or high school misbehavior to secrets at megancrewe dot com by August 24th. It could be something not-so-nice you did, something not-so-nice someone did to you, or something you saw happen to someone else (a friend, classmate, teacher, etc.). For examples, check out the stories already posted!
Don’t worry–unlike Cass, I won’t reveal your secrets. All stories will be posted without name or contact information. I’ll separate your e-mail address from your story as soon as I get it and delete the messages, and even *I* won’t know which stories belong to the winners.
Make sure each story includes your age or grade at the time of the story (should take place during junior high or high school). Other than that, be as creative as you like! All the current examples are written stories, but there are lots of other options (just send me the file):
-create an image around your secret (a la PostSecret)
-draw a picture of what happened
-record an audio file of you telling your story
-make a video (without showing your face–cover it, do a slideshow with voice-over or text, it’s up to you!)
You can submit as many stories as you like–each story counts as one entry in the draw.
The prizes
1. The grand prize is only available to those who present their secret in one of the more creative ways listed above. Those whose stories include an image, drawing, audio file, or video will be entered to win…

-A sticker set featuring the main characters of the novel

-A GIVE UP THE GHOST button (not pictured, but I should have them by the time the contest is over)

Thanks for the contest =) My entry is sent and I still have the button on my blog from last contest *winks*
Thanks! Fantastic giveaway! I just sent in three entries! I also have the button on my blog! Thanks again! š
I sent you my entry and posted a link to the contest on my blog.
I wish to enter this contest and I hope to win.
I sent my two entries. I hope it was ok to include them both in the same email. Thanks! Indigo
Yep, it’s totally okay to send more than one entry together as long as it’s clear they’re separate stories. š
I just sent in my entry and included the button on my blog. I am really looking forward to possibly winning.
I had a question though, which is probably a dumb one, but it says that the second prize is for everyone who enters a story. Does that really mean everyone, or is it just like a second winner?
Thanks again for the contest and I cant wait to read the book, it sounds so amazing! and a girl who can talk to ghost, now who couldnt be interested in that?
Sorry just realized that I read it wrong. Like i said dumb question. Thanks again for the contest!
What a great contest! I have my story in my head, I just need to write it out and send it to you.
Thanks
Awesome contest! I sent my story to you!
Awesome contest. I sent in my stories.
Your contest idea is fantastic! I’m going to get busy and send in my stories asap š
Thanks for the contest!
This is an amazing contest! I’ve e-mailed you and I put up the button on my blog. š
I would have entered this… but I don’t think I have any stories good enough for this.
I would if it extended to elementary school though…
I sent mine already! Hope you got it!
I know if I would have won, I’d gotten an email by now. When do you think she’ll post the winners.
Hi Kay,
I have notified the winners, but I haven’t posted their names to preserve their anonymity. š

I was told by the vet that the only reason to feet wet food (aside from the cat liking it better) is to make sure the cat had fluids. I’ve had good luck with Royal Canin – they make several different varieties and I’m sure there is one for "fussy" eaters and one for cats with sensitive tummys.
Please, can you Pm me and inform me couple of extra thinks about this, I am genuinely fan of your blog… will get solved properly asap.
