Cool Book Giveway! Local author, Christine Pakkala (www.christinepakkala.com), delivers the second installment in her popular, Last-But-Not-Least-Lola series geared for readers grades 2-5. Lola and the Wild Chicken (Boyds Mills Press/September, 2014) is the story of spirited Lola Zuckerman, her changing friendships, and a crazy encounter with a chicken on a field trip! The series launch title, Going Green, is out in paperpack and just won the “Green Prize for Sustainable Literature” for its eco-friendly theme. Ms. Pakkala has also penned the stand alone title, Jasmine and Maddie, which sports an anti-bullying theme and is perfect for grades 4-7. Be the first to post a comment and win BOTH books signed by Westport’s own, Christine Pakkala!
