Help us celebrate the launch of the Pauline, btw series by Edeet Ravel.

The first book in the series, The Thrilling Life of Pauline de Lammermoor, just hit bookstores. Watch for the second book, The Mysterious Adventures of Pauline Bovary, in May, and the third book, The Secret Journey of Pauline Siddhartha, in the Fall.

These are funny, quirky books that follow Pauline as she writes the story of her life (using the example of a book called You Too Can Write a Great Novel!). Throughout the books, Pauline expresses herself through writing and drawings.

That’s where you come in. Now it’s your turn to express yourself. What better way to show the world who you are than to wear your personal expression on your sleeve ... or, um, shirt?

If you’re between the ages of 8 and 16, submit a t-shirt design or slogan for a chance to win free tees for yourself and your friends.

The contest runs March 7 to May 31, 2007.

Read all the contest details here - and enter the contest! I’ll be posting some of your entries right here on the blog as they come in.
