My '14 releases (THE JUNCTION OF SUNSHINE AND LUCKY and FERAL) feature smart protagonists who don't see the world as it is, in a literal sense. They're both wildly imaginative--they're out-of-the-box thinkers. So for my giveaway, I'm asking readers to tell me:
What's the most out-of-the-box, non-traditional thing you ever did that gave you a sense of the Christmas spirit or put you in a holiday mood?
Tweet your answer to @holly_schindler (or leave your response in the comments) to enter. One winner will receive his or her choice of a signed copy of THE JUNCTION OF SUNSHINE AND LUCKY or FERAL.
Giveaway runs through December 7; US only.

THE JUNCTION OF SUNSHINE AND LUCKY (Contemporary MG)
“Beasts of the Southern Wild” meets Because of Winn Dixie in this inspiring story of hope.
Auggie Jones lives with her grandpa Gus, a trash hauler, in
a poor part of town. So when her wealthy classmate’s father starts the
House Beautification Committee, it’s homes like Auggie’s that are deemed “in
violation.” But Auggie is determined to prove that there’s more to
her—and to her house—than meets the eye.
What starts out as a home renovation project quickly becomes
much more as Auggie and her grandpa discover a talent they never knew they
had—and redefine a whole town’s perception of beauty, one recycled sculpture at
a time.
Holly Schindler’s feel-good story about the power one voice
can have will inspire readers to speak from their hearts.
