Last May I reviewed a book called The Kings of Colorado, about a young boy named William who is sent to a penitentiary ranch after a fight with his father turns violent. At the ranch, Will learns the power of loyalty and friendship amidst the brutality of the other young inmates and the staff alike. It was quite a powerful and visceral read that left a deep impression on my psyche and kept me pondering long after I had turned the final page. You can read my complete review here. Now, here’s the part that I love! I’ve been generously offered one copy of The Kings of Colorado to give away to one lucky reader. No bells and whistles, no strings. If you’re interested in winning a copy of the book for yourself, fill out the brief form below. The winner will be chosen by random.org on February 17th and notified by email and on the blog. Good luck to all of you who are entering! I think you will find this to be a very engaging and powerful read. |
And now for the announcement:
The 3rd Annual UCF Book Festival will be held this year on March 31st, 2012.
