Win free books to BookBrowse by solving our fiendish Wordplays!

~ Big Holiday Wordplay 2024 ~

To enter, decipher the 15 books and their authors from the clues below (e.g., the answer to M B by G F would be Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert).

This year, all 15 books feature juvenile protagonists, and have been reviewed on BookBrowse. They are displayed in order of publication year.

In setting each clue we have a specific book in mind, but it is possible that there could be more than one book that matches a particular clue. In such cases we will accept credible alternatives as correct.

There will be three winners. Two will be selected at random from the correct entries, one will be selected from all eligible entries — whether correct or not. So it is still worth entering even if you cannot solve all of the clues.

The prize is a one-year membership to BookBrowse (a $45 value) or an extension to an existing membership.

• This contest will close on Jan 2, 2025.
• Winners will be notified by email and will be listed online after all prizes have been awarded.
• We have never, and will never, sell, rent, or otherwise share the email addresses of anyone on our mailing list.
• By submitting an entry, the participant acknowledges and agrees to all of the contest rules.

Please make sure to put something in each of the 15 boxes on the entry form, even if it is just "don't know," as the form will not save if one is left empty.
