The Great Scavenger Hunt Book Contest

The Great Scavenger Hunt is hosted by YA author Kay Cassidy. Here is how the Hunt works:
1) Come to the Buena Park Library and pick up The Great Scavenger Hunt Book List in the teen area.
2) Check out and read a book from the list.
3) Go to http://www.kaycassidy.com/hunt/list-ya and click on the title of the book you want to read. This will open a trivia challenge for the selected title. Print off the trivia challenge.
4) Answer the trivia challenge questions and give the completed questions to the librarian at the Information/Reference desk at the Buena Park Library.
5) If you get a least 8 out of 10 questions correct, you will be entered into Kay's monthly drawing.

Every month, YA author Kay Cassidy will choose one lucky winner. If you are the winning hunter, you'll receive a $50 gift card to the bookstore of your choice.
