I have an exciting new writing contest to announce!
In This Together Media, Edmodo, and School Library Journal have teamed up and are asking kids to write the next Kat McGee adventure.
The first thing they need to do is check out the Kat McGee series by the wonderful author Kristin Riddick.
Published by In This Together Media, the Kat McGee series takes her on adventures through history and special holidays. These include Kat McGee Saves America, Kat McGee and the Halloween Costume Caper, Kat McGee and the Thanksgiving Turkey Train, all by Kristin.
I love what others have shared about the Kat series...
"Kat McGee is a bold, strong heroine and an inspiration to girls and boys everywhere. In this latest adventure, kids not only learn about the history of what America has been but what the future can be with more Kat McGees in our midst."
-- Sally Kohn, political columnist and television personality
"Kat (and author, Kristin Riddick) definitely know their way around a kid's imagination. It was love at first page between Kat and my 9-year-old son, which proved that Ms. McGee can not only hang with the boys but also with any great children's literary character on the market today."

As you can see, kids are going to LOVE reading the Kat McGee books and will be even more excited to be included in writing the next one with Kristin.
