April Fools Giveaway #10 (CLOSED)

We'll end the day on a very happy note.



A few months back I let y'all in on a little deal that the author of The Strictest School in the World series, Howard Whitehouse, made concerning his books. Now, I have a set of these books to giveaway to one of you today, but the original deal that Mr. Whitehouse offered was - and IS - this:

He is offering autographed sets of the three books for $15 (plus $6 for mailer and stamps.)

The books are "The Strictest School in the World : Being the Tale of a Clever Girl, a Rubber Boy and a Collection of Flying Machines, Mostly Broken" (2006) - a Victorian prison break tale set at a boarding school involving flying machines and pterodactyls. (See my review HERE.)

"The Faceless Fiend, Being the Tale of a Criminal Mastermind, His Masked Minions and a Princess with a Butter Knife, Involving Explosives and a Certain Amount of Pushing and Shoving " (2007) - in which a master criminal plans to kidnap loveable-yet-deranged Princess Purnah, with Sherlock Holmes, a Belgian Birdman, and an elderly dog. (See my review HERE.)

"The Island of Mad Scientists , Being an Excursion to the Wilds of Scotland, Involving Many Marvels of Experimental Invention, Pirates, a Heroic Cat, a Mechanical Man and a Monkey " (2008) - where our adventurers are pursued madly, and a whole collection of Victorian scientists (some real, some not) and held captive. (See my review HERE.)

I opted in and replaced my set of books with an autographed set. Now I'm that much cooler. (And you can be also. Because if I jumped off a (reading?) cliff, you would follow me, right? Right?!)

Today I'm not only happy to say that the offer is still open (so if you didn't take advantage of it previously, you still may) but that Mr. Whitehouse as offered to giveaway a complete hardback set - autographed and all! - to one of my readers here at Reading to Know.
