With the holidays fast approaching, many people are starting to think about gift ideas for kids. This year, why not give them a gift they’ll really love that won’t cost you ongoing subscription fees or add to your electricity bill? Yes, I’m talking about BOOKS! Books don’t make loud, obnoxious noises that will leave you cursing the day you ever saw the thing you bought your kid (or leave some other kid’s parents cursing you for having bought a loud, obnoxious noise-making gift that you won’t have to deal with day in and day out). Books will never run out of batteries or need to be charged for 24 hours before first use. And books will never heartlessly impale themselves in the bottom of your feet when you stumble blearily across the room.
What books will do is fire up kids’ imaginations and help them learn to think outside the box. They’ll help kids develop language skills and extend their vocabularies. They’ll help them learn empathy and all sorts of cool new things. And as an added bonus, books are the gift that keeps on giving ’cause they can be re-read as many times as kids want for no additional cost.
And if you’ve got an avid reader on your list, especially one who loves magic and fast-paced, exciting adventures, might I suggest the first two books of The Arcanium? What does this series have, you ask? Let’s see…
- Magic? Check.
- Adventure? Check.
- Ragtag bunch of kids banding together to save the worlds (and their families) and becoming BFFs in the process? Check.
- Love-to-hate-them-hate-to-love-them villains? Check.
- Edge-of-your-seat action? Check.
- Lots and lots of enchanted crows? You betcha!
And the adventure isn’t over yet… book three picks up right where book two leaves off, and it will be out this spring!
Paperback copies of River of Crows and Mirror of Wolves are available via Amazon, B&N, Indigo, and Waterstones.
E-book copies can be found on Amazon, Nook, Apple and Kobo, AND… here’s the best part… River of Crows was selected for a BookBub e-book promo in Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand (super-exciting!) and the American price will also be dropped to match the promo in these countries. And it gets even better, because the Mirror of Wolves e-book will also be on sale during the promo so you’ll be able to get both books at a huge discount! The promo will be starting on November 27th, so mark your calendars!
