Librarian Heather Perry of Little Elm Public Library in Little Elm, Texas and Rachel G., age 11 and Brittany S., age 10 have won the Mirrorstone Dragon Codex Song Contest. Their winning entry of the Green Dragon Codex lyric has now been recorded as part of the Dragon Codex Song. Listen to it at: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/greendragon
The Dragon Codex Song features Mirrorstone's New York Times bestseller, A Practical Guide to Dragons plus dragon stories from the Green Dragon Codex book and other titles from Mirrorstone~s Dragon Codex series. Each Dragon Codex novel takes one type of dragon and weaves a spellbinding story around it, alternating between good (metallic) and evil (chromatic) dragons. Fantasy fans, ages 8-12, will love these suspenseful, action-packed tales of dragons and the young mortals who dare to confront them. Silver Dragon Codex is the newest book in the series. If kids at your library would like to try writing their own dragon verse for fun, email info@raabassociates.com to request a lyric-writing tip sheet. Congratulations to Little Elm's Library Director, Tina Hager, Heather Perry, Rachel and Brittany for a great effort! |

We'll be selecting five winners on Monday, 7/20 at 5pm ET and will send each winning library a copy of Green Dragon Codex.

We’ve provided: • the chorus and the lyrics about the first four dragons plus music for where the winning lyrics will go • information on the Dragon Song format • tips on how to write great lyrics (it’s a lot like writing poetry!) • a fact sheet about Green Dragon with information from A Practical Guide to Dragons and from the new book in the Dragon Codex series, Green Dragon Codex. The contest is open to legal residents of the U.S. and Canada. No purchase necessary to enter. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. The contest will be open until 12:00 a.m. (midnight) (PST) on August 9, 2009. The winner will be announced on or about September 1, 2009. To enter, email Raab Associates at info@raabassociates.com the text of your lyrics along with your Library Participation Form and the Entry Form for each participating child/teen, which you’ll find at http://ww2.wizards.com/books/Wizards/Products/?doc=240537200. By participating in the contest, participating library and each entrant agrees to be bound by the Official Rules. Once the contest is done, Wizards will record the final stanza and credit the winning library and the first name (or team name) of the entrant when we announce the winner.

I have always loved teen/older youth books...fantasy "time" theme seems new to the younger set....but who can forget _A Wrinkle in Time._ Are you thinking only fantasy and sci/fi? or are mystery "twists" going to be recommended as well?

On a related note, when teens attend the program you also need to project "other book-related ideas" such as the Edible Book Festivals. I LOVE these pictures...and they represent "'other things' altered to make books!"
