Reading Clean Giveaway Hop - Signed Copy of Sean Griswold's Head

I am SOOOO excited about this giveaway. Thank you to Lindsey Leavitt, who has provided me with a signed copy of one of my favorite teen reads, Sean Griswold's Head. This is the beautiful, just-released paperback with the new cover.

I did a lot of reading during the first three months of this year. I wanted to be able to vote for the Whitney Awards and in order to do so, I had to have read all 35 nominees. There were a few books that stood out and Sean Griswold's Head was definitely one of those. This is a clever, interesting, heartfelt story that is every bit as entertaining as the title.

Payton Gritas likes everything just so-she even color-codes the pages of her school planner. But her perfectly organized life falls apart when she learns that her father has MS-and that her parents have been keeping it a secret. Payton refuses to speak to her parents about the illness and lands herself in the school guidance office where she's encouraged to choose a personal focus exercise to help her deal with her feelings. It's a completely ridiculous exercise, but Payton decides to try it. For her focus object, she chooses Sean Griswold's head. Sean and Payton have been linked since kindergarten (Gritas/Griswold-it's an alphabetical order thing) but she's never really known him. The more Payton focuses on his head, the more Payton becomes intrigued with Sean Griswold. Sean is training for a bike race, shares Payton's Seinfeld obsession, and seems to have a secret or two of his own. As their relationship develops, Payton realizes that it actually helps to focus on something else for awhile-especially something like Sean Griswold. But focusing on Sean won't fix her battered relationship with her father. For that, Payton has to focus on herself.

This is a great book for teens and their moms. My girls and I loved it.
