Hey, Greyhounds! I was surfin' the web today (checking out bookstore websites :-)!) and came across a writing contest that is PERFECT for all you creative Greyhounds. You could win a Nook Color (I'd be so jealous), a $500 Barnes & Nobles gift card (remember your favorite librarian), AND a chance to go to New York City (yup, the Big Apple!) to meet Peter Langris, one of the great authors of the 39 Clues series.
All you have to do is write your story (maximum length 20 pages) and submit it by August 21. Here's the link to find out all the contest rules and details:

Better get busy on that story...there's only 20 more days until the deadline!
