Not an April Fool’s Joke

Although I haven’t jumped on the e-book bandwagon yet a friend sent me some info to share with you if you have.

Front Street Books, a division of the publishing house Boyds Mill Press, is giving away four of their books until April 1. If you’ve never heard of Boyds Mill or Front Street maybe you’ve heard of the big daddy they both belong to—Highlights for Children. These four free books are novels for middle and high school readers and come with a small catch. They’re e-books.

But if your family has a e-reader this might be the perfect way to get an unenthusiastic reader excited about reading. After all, they get to play with another techno-gadget.

To download the books go to www.namelos.com and locate one of these books:

ACCORDING TO KIT by Eugenie Doyle (2ce4) BMP_FS_8701_JT.indd

CITY OF CANNIBALS by Ricki Thompson (d35f)

THE DOG IN THE WOOD by Monika Schröder (3bd5)

WARRIORS IN THE CROSSFIRE by Nancy Bo Flood (2ac4)

On the book’s page, enter the code in parantheses after the book in the lower left hand corner box(under the list of prices) and click submit. You then have to provide your name and email address and select which format you want. Then you get an email with a link to the file to download. If you need a format not listed contact Stephen Roxburgh at BMP_FS_8474_JT.inddroxburgh@namelos.com

Feel free to contact Kent Brown, Executive Director of Highlights Foundation, Inc. at
KBrown@boydsmillspress.com to tell him what you liked(or didn’t like)about the promotion. But what’s not to like about free books?
