Henry Potty at Front Street Reviews and Giveaway!

Check out my review of Henry Potty and the Deathly Paper Shortage at Front Street Reviews. Yep, it's a Harry Potter parody and a really funny one at that!

Actually, it's the sequel to Henry Potty and the Pet Rock, which I reviewed ages ago for another site. And now that I have a copy of both books, I'm passing them on to you!

Keep in mind The Deathly Paper Shortage is an advanced reader copy, so the cover is just a plain orange background without all the illustrations the final copies have. But both copies are autographed by Valerie Estelle Frankel, the author.

You know the drill! Leave me a comment by Sunday, July 27, 2008. I'll pick a winner the following Monday.

Open to US residents and internationals with m-bags. Your comment must have a method of contact in the body or a blog link where I can find you if you win. Anonymous entries will be automatically disqualified.

Good luck!

These sound like a lot of fun to read. I have two children (9 and 11) and this looks like something they would both enjoy reading. I am going to have to look them up to keep an eye out for more in the series.

Thank you for the fun give away!
