Yay for another book giveaway! I've been lax about posting a new Triviadventure every week but my sloth-like qualities are your gain because now I am giving away a box of 12 books. Because it will be rather heavy, I have to do US only.
Oh, and the winners of the New Zealand Triviadventure from eons ago were Maja C. and Lisa O. (two of my favorite Europeans!) Congrats, lovelies!
TRIVIA!!
1) Who doesn't love a bit of incest? (kidding!) This book, set in England, features a large family including siblings named Tiffin, Kit, Willa, Maya and Lochan and a *cough* over-the-line romance.
ANSWER: Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma
2) The lesson from this book is this: If you are ever thinking of living in the wilderness in Alaska, BE PREPARED...and definitely know which foods are edible in nature. (hint: the author is Jon Krakauer.)
ANSWER: Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
3) Anjelica Huston creeps the hell out of me in the movie of this book. Written by Roald Dahl, this children's classic was illustrated by Quentin Blake and includes children being turned into mice.
ANSWER: The Witches by Roald Dahl
4) This is a novella based in Orson Scott Card's Enderverse. In this book, the kids at Battle School are in a tizzy about celebrating (or not celebrating) holidays.
ANSWER: War of Gifts by Orson Scott Card
5) This is the first book in the Steve Vail series by Noah Boyd. In this installment, a criminal group is blackmailing the FBI.

ANSWER: Blue Bloods and Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz
11) I wish I could just say "this is my favorite children's book" and call it a day. Alas, I have to be more informative.

The author of the book also illustrates books and illustrated a Christmas book by Dylan Thomas.
