over at Free Book Friday's new Teen site. And, as the title indicates, you can check back every Friday for another chance to win a new book!Also, I wanted to thank Beverly for this entry in the Big Violet Contest in August. She wrote a great poem (it really does capture Violet!), and here it is!
I am more than a model or a runway girl.
There are layers to me and somewhere a pearl.
I can walk the runway in Milan or New York
but just don't let me get photographed with some food on a fork.
I just want to be accepted and be me
but everyone wants me to be whom they think I should be
I want to go to Vassar and live a normal life without the fame,
but how do you leave who you were to become who you are meant to be in this game?
I'm looking for solutions and clues behind doors,
read about it in Violet in Private now in stores.
-- Beverly S Clark
