Hello everyone, Paul R. Hewlett here! I hope that all has been going well in your worlds. I wanted to put up a quick post to announce the fantastic book review and giveaway we’re having. We are giving away a copy of Michael Dahl’s Troll Hunters! I want to thank Kathy at I am a Reader Not a Writer and Andrea at Reading Lark for hosting the Fangs, Fur, & Fey Hop, October 2-8. I would also like to encourage you to look for the Happily Ever After Giveaway Hop October 9-14. Lots of great books, giveaways, and fun! Don’t miss out, be sure to stop back and check them all out. Now, here’s the Goodreads blurb for Troll Hunters:
Evil and danger rumbles under the earth. Follow the adventures of a group of contemporary teenagers who discover that their town, and ultimately the entire world, is under attack by fierce creatures from deep beneath the earth. These creatures were known to the earliest humans as trolls or goblins, but they are much more dangerous than their fairy-tale versions. The teens make unlikely allies along the way, including a half-man, half-troll, as well as some legendary constellations that quite literally come to life. The young heroes will also discover their own untapped celestial abilities in an epic battle between good versus evil.
A thrilling, suspenseful fantasy novel
Set in an ordinary small town, a group of kids band together to fight off mythical creatures
Perfect for Halloween promotion
I really like the last line of that blurb. Halloween and the spooky season is almost upon us and this book would make a great gift/read. Enter the giveaway or click on the book image to the left if you want to make sure that you have it. Clicking on the image will take you to Amazon for purchase.

Hi biochemguy! Thanks for stopping by. It is a cool cover isn’t it?! It does look like he is focused on something else doesn’t it?

This looks like something I could convince my teenaged son to read… he’s very picky about what he will read, and I think this will be right up his alley… we actually have 6 teenagers and 3 younger children still at home, so it will be well read and loved!

This book sounds really interesting. In a strange way it reminds me a bit of the Percy Jackson series (which I loved). Thanks for having the giveaway.

Hi Alicia, great to see you here! Thanks for stopping by. I have never read the Percy Jackson series, but we just did a group of posts a month or so ago, taking suggestions from our readers of their favorite children’s books and that was mentioned several times. It is now on my list of books to read. Be sure to stop by and read my thoughts on Troll Hunters when I post my review in a few days. Have a great night & I hope to see you back here soon.

I love the cover of the book alone and the summary sounds intriguing. I’d love to read it then share it with my nieces or nephew. 🙂
I am following via GFC: Mippy and I am in the USA, Utah 🙂
oops I forgot my manners! THANK YOU for the giveaway! 😀
Hi Mippy, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the comment and good luck in the giveaway! The cover is fantastic, this is the second book that I’ve read by this author and publisher and both covers have been off the charts great! I hope to see you stop back by again soon.
Paul R. Hewlett
I’ll be honest – It’s the cover. This cover would have me picking up the book in a store and reading the back cover. The blurb just increases my interest in the book – half-troll half-human? I bet that blurs the lines between good and evil for the teens.

Hi nrlymrtl! Thanks for the comment, it is a great comment. I actually wrote a post a while back about book covers, and found that over 50% of the people surveyed picked up a book because of the cover. Good to see that you are in that 50+% I hope that you entered to win and good luck. I hope to see you back here again soon.
Paul R. Hewlett
When the cover itself is this thrilling and scary how would be the story!!
It looks like it would be a fun read just based on the fact that it’s kids fighting! The cover is pretty awesome too 🙂
Hi Becca. The kids have some pretty cool super powers as well. Certainly a unique spin on some fantasy things. The cover is indeed awesome. I have read two books from this author and publisher and both have been beyond great. Good luck and I hope to see you back here soon.
Paul R. Hewlett
This sounds like something my son would love!!! Thanks for the chance to win
