I don’t often go in for these — press release announcements, yes, but solving puzzles (I’m terrible at it) even more — but I thought it’d be fun to pass along the party invite for those of you who are better at puzzles than I am. 🙂

From the email:

The new Winston Breen book, “The Potato Chip Puzzles,” hits stands this week, and to celebrate, Winston and I are throwing a puzzle party. From April 16th to April 22nd, visit the following great kidlit blogs and you’ll find a puzzle waiting for you. Solve all the puzzles, submit your answers, and you might win a signed copy of the new book — or possibly even every single book in G.P. Putnam’s Spring 2009 children’s and YA catalog.

Here’s the lineup for the party:

April 16th: A Patchwork of Books
April 17th: Fuse #8
April 18th: Shelf Elf
April 19th: Books Together
April 20th: Bookshelves of Doom
April 21st: Chicken Spaghetti
April 22nd: Oz and Ends

I hope to see you there!

All the best,

Eric Berlin
