Win an Original Wingfeather Saga Drawing! (UPDATE)
(UPDATE: Since some of you guys haven’t gotten the book yet, we’ve decided to extend the date to June 8. Thanks for all the kind words so far! I’m so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the story. Whew!)
This is the official release week for The Monster in the Hollows, so we’re celebrating by having a contest. Nay, we’re having TWO contests. Contests which are really just a way for me to beg you guys to spread the word about the new book and the Wingfeather Saga in general.
Contest the First: For the Bloggers. All you have to do is write a review of The Monster in the Hollows (and the Wingfeather Saga in general) for your blog. (Psst! Try not to include spoilers.) Then post a link to the blog as a comment to this post, and on Wednesday, June 8, my cohorts and I will choose our favorite. You get extra credit if the blog includes a creative photo of you and/or your family with the book. (Oh! And if you can, link to the Rabbit Room store (or Amazon) so they can order the book.)
Contest the Second: For the Amazonians. This one’s pretty much the same as above, only I’m asking (begging) you to leave a good review on Amazon.com. We’ll choose a favorite on June 1 and either leave you a comment on Amazon or email you. (Note: You needn’t have bought the book on Amazon to leave a review there.)
Here’s the fun part: Each of the two winners will receive an original hand-drawn picture from the Wingfeather Saga. Hand-drawn by me, that is, just for you. You’re welcome to make suggestions via email about the characters, creatures, or scene you’d like me to draw, but I reserve the right to make the final decision, mainly because I’m not sure I can draw, for example, a gargan rockroach. When the picture is finished I’ll mail you the final piece in a frame-ready mat.
That’s it! Thanks for your support with this. We have six pallets of books (which is a lot of books), and my goal is to get every last one of them into the hands of readers. The trick is, I can’t do it without your help. Thanks for letting me tell this story. In the words of the Sage of Brivshap, “I can hardly believe it. Seriously.”

Argh! Well, I can’t wait to read this at the beach then. I need to get right on reading it now. I didn’t think I could wait, and this just confirms it. Besides the fact that my brother-in-law said it was absolutely awesome.

I love that drawing, and I love your music and books. But amazon still hasn’t shipped the book yet. Grr.

I got the first two books from the library and was excited to read them over the next few weeks. Little did I know that they would become my escape as I traveled home to Nigeria to bury my dear Mother. When my world was falling apart, I was glad for the delightful escape those books provided for me. I love how books do that! I can’t wait to read this one.

Here’s my review: http://jimhamilton.info/2011/05/25/the-monster-in-the-hollows-by-andrew-peterson/
I hope the Lord chooses to do whatever he does when he “raises up” a book with the result that this one lands on all those best-seller lists.
Blessings!

I’m torn. Order from Amazon to boost those sales numbers, or order from the Rabbit Room to boost the profit margin! From both?!

So glad I pre-ordered my copy! I’ve already finished before its “official” release. Hope your busy working on the finale! Can’t wait!

We’re ready to review but having trouble finding a copy of the book in local stores! Maybe Steve will bring us a copy when he returns tonight from Nashville. Surely the Lifeway there has stacks for sale along with large end-cap displays!!

Finished it last night! I’m so glad I pre-ordered it. A review is pending.

Well, doggone! I preordered from Amazon but don’t have my copy yet. I’m having to go around with eyemuffs on to keep from seeing spoilers from my friends on Facebook who somehow have their copies already…this is a slow, painful death.

I’ve added a link since the contest. If I can corner some kids tonight I’ll try to add a clever picture. Maybe just a cleaver picture will do.

I wrote a review on my blog, but I warn you, I have not recieved Monster in the Hollows yet (I foolishly ordered with Barnes & Noble. I’ll never do that again), so I didn’t review that. I reviewed On the Edge and North! or be Eaten and the Wingfeather Saga in general.

I’ve just started re-reading On The Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness to my four children on a morning and it is the only time the house is quiet.
To do a blog review do we have to have read the third book? Like I say, I’m re-reading the series so far and haven’t started the third one yet.
I’ve been doing a bit of ‘advertising’ for the series already on facebook (free of charge of course).

Ooooh…. My husband has already polished off _The Monster in the Hollows_, but I was putting it off (and if I could convince him to write a review on a blog, we’d have a miracle on our hands!). But I’ve been spreading the word and I’ll see what I can do to post a review
.
It sounds like it was a good thing I got our books through the Rabbit Room. Neat story (hopefully good for you all down the road): I’ve been pushing The Wingfeather Saga and other Rabbit Roomer novels with a friend who’s the librarian at a Christian school in our area. She was pretty excited about them, but hadn’t been able to order them yet. Well, by some fluke the Rabbit Room sent me two copies of Monster, and Pete said I could pass it on to a friend. As a result, it’s going to this ONE friend who will be able to hand it off to who knows how many students (and the goal, of course, is that they will love these books as much as I have and buy them and spread the word
)….

I ordered Monster in the Hollow on amazon, and I was also hoping to buy another copy to read right away. But no copies are available down here! So me (with a bunch of other southerner’s down here) are very sad not to be able to read/review it. I can’t wait till it comes in!

I’m posting the same review on Amazon and Goodreads, too, if that’s okay. Well done, Andrew Peterson. I continue to do my best to promote the Wingfeather Saga!

Hey, folks! Thanks so much for all the kind words. I can’t tell you how glad I am that you liked the book. It says so at the top of the post, but we decided to extend the deadline to June 8 since so many folks emailed to say that they hadn’t received their books yet. Thank you again, so much. The reviews so far have been so encouraging.

Great idea! I let my daughter Avery write the review since she finished the book and I haven’t yet : ) The first 15 chapters are amazing though! I’d write more but I have to go READ MORE!!!!

I’ve spoken of The Monster in the Hollows on my new blog today. I will do one at Amazon as well. Will link to my words on my facebook as well. When On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness came out, I purchased several and gave them away. Now all the people I have given books to are buying their own copies of The Monster in the Hollows. Everyone loves this whole series. Here’s the link to the blog:

Our copy of Monster in the Hollows has two bookmarks in it…
One for my reading out loud with the kids…and a second, a wee bit further along all for me, myself and I; when the suspense and the glimmers of hope are just too much!
But shhhh…don’t tell the kids…

Andrew Peterson is one of the “Greats”. His many talents are staggering. He writes, draws, and sings. And he does everything “great”. I just see him growing and growing as the years go by. He will definitley go down in history along with the Stephen Kings, Dean Koontzs and J K Rowling. Keep up the great work Andrew. I’m a big FAN!!!

I just got my pre-ordered book today as a reward for getting high honor role. I was so exited when i got it. I have read the first and second books and can’t wait to start this. Sadly i will probably not be able to finish in time to write a review because I read the other books earlier this year and so I am re-reading them. You’re books and music are both great and I am a big fan.

These books are amazing – here is my blog endorsing them as such.

The review being processed on amazon right now isn’t mine, it’s the eMan’s.
He asked me what I thought of it before clicking submit, and it’s a good thing he did, too. There at the very bottom in all lowercase letters, he’d typed:

Well, fine. I dashed off a quick thingy since I couldn’t go online at home, and so was that my only chance? Or can I write a *real* review this time??
722 days ago
Dang. Missed the date.
But do I really need an incentive to write a positive review for the series? Of course not! Hey, by the time the Warden and the Wolf King comes out, maybe there will be another contest. (hint, hint….nudge nudge…wink wink…)
I have already written a review on my library’s website, so I will probably write a review over at Amazon too. And here, too, when I get the chance. I loved, loved, LOVED, the book!!! Too bad I can’t win the drawings.

So, I got my copy from the Rabbit room, and I don’t have a blog, but I did post this on my facebook page- does it count?
‘Finished devouring the 3rd Wingfeather Saga book ‘The Monster in the Hollows’ (just released) & looking forward to the next one. Written kind of similar to JRRTolkein (but for young adults & the books are shorter); I JUST LOVE THEM. Andrew Peterson, the author, won a 2010 Christy award for best young adult fiction. Get them at The Rabbit Room, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble. I highly recommend you READ THEM!’
Keep up the good work! These are inspired books and they are wonderful. Thanks, I am really really really enjoying them.
