I recently shared a holiday gift-guide from Random House because I thought the list of books was outstanding and each book would make a great gift. Now I am very excited to say that one lucky reader will be able to win a set of the 7 middle-grade books that are listed in the guide. Go and take a look at the list—Random House Children’s Books’ Holiday Gift-Giving Guide—and then come back and enter to win!

Winners will be picked at random using a random sequence generator (your comments are numbered in the order they are received and the numbers are like raffle tickets drawn from a hat).

This would be a wonderful opportunity for me to help out a teacher friend in getting books for use in her classroom. These kind of purchases usually come out of our own pockets and this would be a real blessing to win these books.
