Keeper of Lost Cities Summer Reading $50 Visa #Giveaway

Simon & Schuster is partnering with me for a giveaway!

Summer is almost here! Bring on the books! My middle daughter is my middle schooler and she loves a good series.  So much so that once she is hooked, she wants to read them all.  She did this with Harry Potter.  Then the following year, she did this with the Land of Stories Series.  Now, with studying for finals and all, she is in the midst of Exile, Book 2 in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series and is on a mission to finish!

With this in mind, I can tell you that Keeper of Lost Cities is the perfect summer reading series for your middle schooler.

It’s no wonder that this series appeals to my daughter.  The main character, Sophie Foster is a brave and complicated heroine similar to Hermione from Harry Potter.  Just like Harry Potter, boys and girls will enjoy reading this fantasy series.  Another part that readers will truly devour is the highly competitive love triangle: Sophie has two main love interests and many fans root for one or the other, considering themselves either “Team Keefe” or “Team Fitz.”

 

Get hooked on the New York Times-bestselling series that’s taking the world by storm!

When Sophie Foster discovers she’s an elf from the Lost Cities, she embarks on an incredible adventure, discovering new abilities, and making new friends. But the secrets of Sophie’s past were buried for a reason and the truth she uncovers could put all of the worlds in danger.
