It's that time of year again! Welcome to the Fall 2015 YA SCAVENGER HUNT!!!!
Participating in the YA Scavenger Hunt is easy! We have a "How To Hunt" page with an orientation video for you.
Here's all you have to do:
The hunt opens officially at noon Pacific Time--all posts by authors should be up then.
During that time, you can go to the participating authors blogs and websites--you can find them all here. The first thing on the page should be their hunt information--there you can find out about new authors and get exclusive content.
Take note of the highlighted number on each author's hunt page. You need that number to enter the contest!
Each author is on either the RED, ORANGE, GOLD, GREEN, TEAL, BLUE, PURPLE, or PINK Team. Add up the numbers of all the authors on the red team, and you have the secret code you need to enter the contest for the red team--then do the same for the blue, etc! You can find the prizes for each team here. You can only enter once, and your entry only counts if you have the right number, so make sure you get the right code! Break out those calculators!
You have to submit your entry by October 4, noon, Pacific Standard Time. You can submit your entry for each team HERE.
On October 9th, we'll announce the winners! There's one winner for each team. The hunt IS open internationally, to all ages, so you have no excuse to not join in the fun!

Spellcaster by Claudia Gray
Burn the witch!
Can you picture it? The mob of villagers with their pitchforks chanting this mantra to decide the fate of a girl’s life. Luckily for Nadia Caldani, though she was a witch, this never happened. After moving to Captive’s Sound with her father and brother, she quickly saw that there was something wrong happening. Maybe it was just because the boy she couldn’t help staring at during biology, Mateo, was surely dating the girl that sat next to him or the dark magic she could feel coming from beneath the class room floor. Take your pick.

Maybe it was just because the boy she couldn’t help staring at during biology, Mateo, was surely dating the girl that sat next to him or the dark magic she could feel coming from beneath the class room floor. Take your pick.
With her witch of
a mother leaving her half trained and feeling only a little able to defend
herself, Nadia, battles the normal life a senior in high school with an added
bonus of someone in her new hometown who has weaved their evil magic into the
fabric of life in Captive’s Sound.
In the adventure
to save her new home she teams up with the cursed, Mateo, and the vintage clad,
Verlaine, to stop the wicked forces that is threatening everything that they
loved. Who could be behind such a thing? Can half trained Nadia find enough
power to come out conqueror? Only the words spellbound into the book by Claudia
Gray can tell.
Spellcaster is a book filled with mystery and
deception all spiced up with a little magic. Another mystery connected to Spellcaster is Amy Vincent. Who is that?
She holds the real magic behind the pages. She uses Claudia Gray as her
pseudonym to write her YA novels. Probably best known for her Evernight series, she has written many
books including Spellcaster’s sequel Steadfast and also her latest release of
A Thousand Pieces of You.
To see more of the
stories weaved by Claudia Gray go check out her website and you will be
enchanted.
