Fashion Fraud and Love Songs by
Jamie Campbell
The Fashion Series revolves around
Truly Winx, fashion designer wannabe. When her dreams are so close to
coming true, she commits fashion fraud with her new frenemy, Jane
Davis.
Sixteen year old Kaley Thorne is
invisible. Or she may as well be anyway. All her emotions, thoughts,
and dramas go into her secret songbook. Music is her passion, her
escape, and her hidden talent. Her songbook is her diary, singing
everything she is too shy to speak.
Effie’s Senior Year and Lover I
Don’t Have to Love by Tracy Marchini
"Effie has a million reasons why
her senior year hasn’t gone as planned — from the hideous
bridesmaid dress at her older sister’s wedding, to a disastrous
first kiss, to a complete lack of romantic attention from her
boy-that-is-a-friend, Robbie.
In this complete collection of all six
Effie Stories, Effie Green tries to turn her oh-so-average high
school existence into the perfect teen movie moment. "
"Thanks to a runaway best-seller,
the world thinks that Greg Hanlon fell in love with the beautiful
Angeline while sailing the open seas, and lost her before they could
marry on the beaches of South Africa.
Though the book started out as a bet
between Greg and his best-friend Darrin, the project has taken off
like neither of them expected. As Greg's mother sees the money roll
in, Greg starts to see nothing but Angeline - his fictional, dead
fiancé.
In this absurdist short-story, one
young adult must come to terms with fame -- or infamy."
War Kids by HJ Lawson

The Fine Art of Holding Your
Breath and The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet by Charity Tahmaseb
No one expects the girl who has
mastered the art of keeping quiet to join the speech team. But Jolia
does. When a crush-worthy rival offers to coach her in secret, she
can't say no. But secrets have a price, and this one might cost Jolia
everything . . .
When MacKenna pursues an ROTC
scholarship behind her father’s back, she inadvertently uncovers
the secret behind her mother’s death in the first Gulf War. And
secrets, like war, have their own casualties.
The See-Through Leopard by Sibel
Hodge
"The See-Through Leopard is an
inspirational coming-of-age story set in the wilds of Africa.
""If I had to sum this story
up into one word, I think it would be fitting to say, ""Wow!""
This story was emotionally gripping from the very first page to the
very last."" -- Night Owl Teen Reviews"

Q & A with the organiser –
Sarah Dalton
How can readers enter the YA Spring
Fling giveaway?
Head over to my website
Sarahdaltonbooks.com and find the page for the YA Spring Fling (handy
hint, it’s HERE). Once you’re
there you can browse through the books on offer, or check out more
information about the participating
authors.
You should see plenty of links
prompting you to enter the giveaway. Simply fill out the Google
document telling us which books you’d like to win, the format you
prefer, and whether you would also like to win paperbacks and swag.
It’s that simple. Pick the books you want and sign off.
How will I know I’ve won?
There are so many books on offer that
I’d be surprised if you didn’t win something! So you will be
hearing from us.
After April 3rd, I will
collate all the entries and pass them on to the participating
authors. They will then choose the winners at random and Email the
winners to let them know the good news.
Will my Email or personal details be
used outside the giveaway?
Absolutely not. We’re all against
spam and promise not to use your Email for anything other than
contacting you as a winner. If you joined up to the YA Spring Fling
mailing list you will receive one Email telling you the giveaway is
open, and another warning you it is about to close. That’s it!
Is the giveaway open
internationally?
Yes! But there are some paperbacks on
offer that are region specific. Not all of our authors are sending
paperbacks and swag internationally, purely because it costs us so
much money and we ain’t made of it. ;)
We will ask for your country of
residence in the Google document. That’s so we can work out the
winners for region specific paperbacks more easily. Everything else
is open internationally.
I have a question, who can I
contact?
Me! Send me a message on Facebook.
My Email might be clogged by answering author queries, so Facebook
might be the easiest method.
Who can I tell about the giveaway?
And what can I do to help spread the word?
You can tell everyone and anyone who
might like YA books. If you’d like to spread the word it would be
awesome if you could follow or like some of the authors and share
their posts about the giveaway. You can find a full list of the
participating authors and their social media links here.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! MAY YOU WIN MANY
BOOKS!
