It's No Mystery. The Winner is.... - From The Mixed Up Files

Last Friday’s post about Middle-Grade Biographies included a GIVEAWAY of the newly-released Missing Millie Benson: The Secret Case of the Nancy Drew Ghostwriter and Journalist by Julie K. Rubini. Nineteen people commented by the deadline, so tonight, nineteen sticky notes went up on the goat gate. Because that’s how every giveaway works, right?

Picking the goat who would pick the winner was the hardest part! They all wanted to be part of the action.

I chose Kristoff because he’s the youngest. And he loves to read mysteries.

After tasting a few, Kristoff took this name off the gate and proceeded to chew.

My daughter had homework up to her ears, so I was left to attempt this all by my selfie.

Next time, maybe I’ll choose a barn animal who will sit still for photographs.

But, for now, Kristoff and I are happy to announce that the WINNER of a *signed* copy of Missing Millie Benson: The Secret Case of the Nancy Drew Ghostwriter and Journalist by Julie K. Rubini is…

Congratulations, Dee!
