2020 YA Scavenger Hunt Sept. 29 – Oct. 4
Welcome to YA Scavenger Hunt! This bi-annual event was first organized by author Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to exclusive bonus material from their favorite authors… and a chance to win some awesome prizes by solving the scavenger hunt puzzles (as explained below)! On this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize–one lucky winner will receive one book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for 120 hours through Oct 4 at NOON Pacific Time!
Go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page to find out all about the hunt. There are SIX contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the PURPLE TEAM–but there is also a red team, a gold team, a green team, a blue team, and a pink team for a chance to win a whole different set of books!
If you’d like to find out more about the hunt, see links to all the authors participating, and see the full list of prizes up for grabs, go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page.

SCAVENGER HUNT AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: JESSIKA FLECK
Published by Swoon Reads/MacMillan Publishing, more on Defy the Sun…
Civil war has come to the island of Bellona.
Veda Adeline believes in the Night. She’s joined the underground revolutionaries and is determined to overthrow the ruling Imperi and find justice for her people.
Nico Denali, Veda’s childhood best friend and maybe-something-more, is one of those ruling Imperi, and he’s just been named heir to the most powerful man above ground.
As the war intensifies, Veda and Nico are both captured by their enemies and leveraged against each other: Veda is above as a hostage of the Imperi and Nico is below, taken by the Night.
The island will burn unless Veda and Nico can come together from opposite sides of Bellona to rip everything apart. The stakes are all or nothing in this second and final book in the BEWARE THE NIGHT duology.
More about Jessika…
Jessika Fleck is a writer, unapologetic coffee drinker, and knitter — she sincerely hopes to one day discover a way to do all three at once. Until then, she continues collecting vintage typewriters and hourglasses, dreaming of an Ireland getaway, and convincing her husband they NEED more kittens.
Jessika has lived all over the U.S. from Hawaii to Vermont, but currently calls Illinois home. She resides there with her sociology professor husband and two daughters where she’s learning to appreciate the beauty in cornfields and terrifyingly large cicadas.
Her latest publication is the conclusion to The Offering Duology, DEFY THE SUN. Her first middle grade book, MOLLY AND THE TWIN TOWERS: A 9/11 SURVIVAL STORY, releases 1/1/2021.
You can find Jessica on her website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Get Defy the Sun here.

Thank you for this fabulous chance.
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
Coffee and kittens are awesome. This sounds like a cool book.
Thank you for taking part in YASH. I wish this weren’t the last one.
You Beneath Your Skin By Damyanti Biswas has been the best book I’ve read in 2020 so far.
I also really enjoyed Van Helsing Academy by Stacey O’Neale and Not Guilty by C. Lee McKenzie.
I’m super excited about the YA query contest Pass or Pages at Operation Awesome this October.
