The Graphic Classroom is happy to participate in a holiday contest to give away five copies of the new comic-prose hybrid, MALICE, from Scholastic. I’m reading an advance copy now and hope to have the review done very soon. So far, the book is pretty scary. Here’s a tidbit:
“TALL JAKE, TAKE ME AWAY…”
Everyone’s heard the rumors. Call on Tall Jake and he’ll take you to Malice, a world that exists inside a terrifying comic book. A place most kids never leave.
Seth and Kady think it’s all a silly myth. But then their friend disappears, and suddenly the rumors don’t seem so silly anymore…
Part thriller, part ground-breaking graphic novel … get into this story, and you may never get out!
HOW TO ENTER
The contest is simple to enter and five winners will be picked randomly. All you have to do is email your answer to one question and give us your name, address and age. We will publish your responses to the question on our site, but we will ONLY include your first name and state in order to protect your privacy. The contest is open to all persons of any age, not just students. Email your response to: abikerbard@mac.com
WHAT YOU GET
The five winners chosen will receive a complimentary copy of MALICE.
THE QUESTION
What is your favorite comic, graphic novel or comic-book related movie and explain why it is your favorite.
DEADLINE
The contest ends at midnight on Christmas Day, so be sure to get your entries by the deadline.
AGE RANGE
Scholastic has the book listed for grade 7 and older.
IN THE CLASSROOM
This could be an excellent opportunity for students to answer a writing prompt. Students could construct a persuasive essay, poem, news article, glog, animoto, PowerPoint, podcast or vodcast answering the above question and submit it to The Graphic Classroom. Teachers could run their own contests and submit five students, or they could choose to submit all students.
