But, if you've landed here by following a link from another Apocalypsies' race post, then read on for the information you will need to answer the Personal Effects question, and instructions on how to win some Personal Effects swag.
Personal Effects, by E. M. Kokie (Candlewick Press, fall 2012)
Seventeen-year-old Matt Foster thought that if he could only get his hands on his brother’s stuff from Iraq, he'd be able to make sense of T.J.’s death. He wasn’t expecting T.J.’s personal effects to raise even more questions about his brother’s life.
Now, even if it means pushing his dad over the edge …
even if it means losing his best friend …
even if it means getting expelled from school …
Matt will do whatever it takes to find out the truth about his brother’s past.
Got all that? Store it away for the quiz ahead! (Hint: The quiz will focus on that bolded last line about the book). And remember, you must complete ALL FIVE quizzes to be eligible for a YAmazing Race with MGnificant Prizes prize pack.
