Enter to Win a Nook! The Wonderbar Pinning Sweepstakes Spectacular!!

April 12, 2012 by Nathan Bransford 9 Comments

UPDATE: Contest has ended! Thanks, everyone!

It’s publication week for my novel Jacob Wonderbar for President of the Universe! You still have time to win a Kindle with Special Offers, and now I’m giving away a Nook Simple Touch!

Also: Correction, it’s publication day! Holy space monkeys!!

In case you haven’t heard at some point this week, Jacob Wonderbar is the candidate you want to elect in 2012. He is fantastic at pranks, he can escape substitute teachers with the best of them, and he can usually fly around the universe without causing massive space explosions. Of course, he’s running against Mick Cracken, the universe’s greatest space buccaneer, and running from a rogue band of space monkeys. 

He may also have to save the planet Earth from being blown to smithereens. It’s a tough campaign.

Jacob Wonderbar for President of the Universe is for 8-years-old and up and is being published by Dial Books for Young Readers, a division of Penguin Group USA, and is now available in bookstores!

Order today at:
Amazon (hardcover)!

    Publication Day! Good luck and congratulations, Nathan!!!

    I don't treet or pin, so I can't win the Nook or Kindle, but I have something better! A bright, shiny new Jacob Wonderbar for President was delivered to my I-phone today. Yay!!

    I've only had time to read the first sentence, about Jacob slamming the car door and stomping in the parking lot (Me too! I do that all the time!), so I'm HOOKED!! Can't wait to read more!! 🙂
