Bio: Ellen
Booraem’s TEXTING THE UNDERWORLD, a middle-grade fantasy about a scaredy-cat
South Boston boy and a determined young banshee, hit bookstores in August
(Penguin/Dial). It is a Kirkus Reviews “best book of the year,” as were her
earlier books, SMALL PERSONS WITH WINGS and THE UNNAMEABLES. A former weekly
newspaper editor, she lives in coastal Maine with an artist, a dog, and a cat,
one of whom is a practicing curmudgeon.

Highest bid before the end of the auction wins.
* A note about last-minute bidding:
If you are used to online auctions that end at an exact, given second, please
know that the KidLitPhil auctions don’t work quite that way. Each auction ends
when I post the “Auction closed” comment. I do that when my computer turns to
10pm EST, but because I have multiple auctions to close at that time (also
because I am human) it will not be precisely at 10pm EST. At any rate, the
winning bid is the high bid before the Auction Closed comment, even if the time
on your computer reads slightly after 10:00. Thanks for understanding!
*
Winning bidder must donate the winning bid amount to a designated charity
organization and provide a copy of the receipt within three days of
notification.
*
For physical items, unless otherwise noted, donor pays standard shipping within
the U.S.; winning bidder pays for express shipping or for shipping outside the
U.S.
