A twice-weekly sharing of eco-shwag.
Today’s giveaway’s an autographed manuscript of Turtle Feet, Surfer’s Beat, a book by Marina Kuperman that’s perhaps marks the beginning of an entirely new genre: The eco-teen romance.
I totally read Sweet Valley High back in the day, but hurray! I’m no longer a teenager. Thus, I didn’t read Turtle Feet, Surfer’s Beat, but I hear the plot stars one Penelope, a semi-spoiled suburban teen girl from the US who’s forced to spend 2 weeks at the Leatherback Turtle Biological Center. As you may’ve guessed, Penelepe turns into an enviro-activist eager to save these turtles from extinction. A cute surfer boy gets involved somewhere along the way.
Got a teen kid — or maybe you’re a teen yourself, at least at heart? Then sign up for the drawing via a comment or email by Friday; drawing happens Sunday. US addresses only.
To find out more about the book and the author, read a Q&A with Marina at Diane’s Big Green Purse. 10% of all the proceeds from book sales go directly to saving the Leatherback Turtle and other marine animals.
Hi, It is me again. This also looks very promising. Please put my name in the hat! Again, much thanks! Cindi :)
