Congratulations to Melissa Blattner! You’ve won Ghostly Evidence! Please send an email to publicityinfo@lernerbooks.com with the subject line “Free Book Friday” and your mailing address so we can get your book in the mail.
Happy Halloween! We’ve got one more semi-supernatural Fall 2014 title to give away: Ghost Walls: The Story of a 17th-Century Colonial Homestead.
In 1638, John Lewger made a home—called St. John’s House—in the New World. For nearly eighty years, it was the center of an ambitious English plan to build a new community on American soil. St. John’s witnessed the beginning of struggles that would dominate the next three centuries.
And then everything crumbled. By the mid-1700s, St. John’s had deteriorated, its walls little more than ghosts haunting the historical records. But they weren’t lost. Not entirely.
Award-winning author Sally M. Walker tells the story of how teams of scientists and historians managed to hear the ghostly echoes of St. John’s House and, over the course of decades of painstaking work, made them speak their stories again.
If you’d like to win Ghost Walls, please leave a comment on this post (including your first and last name), or tweet this line: “Free Book Friday! RT to win GHOST WALLS from @LernerBooks. bit.ly/1OrSN“

Hi! I work in a middle school library. Your book, Ghost Walls, would be a great addition. Kayleen Reusser Kreusser@bhmsd.k12.in.us. I'm also an author of MG books. This would have a fun topic to write about!
