Giveaway – Mira’s Diary by Marissa Moss
Mira’s Diary: Lost in Paris
By Marissa Moss
Publication date: Sept. 4, 2012
Sourcebooks Jabberwocky , 224 pages
Written like a journal and featuring doodles, cartoons, whimsical notes and memorabilia like postcards and ticket stubs, MIRA’S DIARY: LOST IN PARIS takes readers on a fast-paced adventure around the globe to view the Wonders of the World through the eyes of a 13-year-old girl.
Mira, her older brother Malcolm, and her photographer father are traveling the world to document the Modern Wonders — and search for Mira’s missing mother. The only clue they have is a postcard from Paris. When Mira touches a gargoyle at Notre Dame, she is whirled into the past where she meets historical figures like the painter Degas and catches a brief, shocking glimpse of her mother. Mira begins to suspect that her Mom didn’t run out on them, but has become a prisoner of the past. Can one family on an incredible worldwide adventure stop a plot in time?
Accompanied by fun and engaging illustrations, MIRA’S DIARY is a fresh take on weaving together real history and art with action, adventure, time-travel and family drama in an exciting new series.
Sounds, cute, right? Enter below for your chance to win a copy of Marissa Moss’ Mira’s Diary: Lost in Paris. Good luck!

About Me
I read. A lot. Mostly whatever YA novels the library has on hold for me that week. Sometimes grown-up books if my book club makes me.

Starry NightsBy Daisy Whitney
Magical elements are a cool twist so far in this book from an author who you can tell REALLY loves art.

Sounds a little like Amelia’s Notebook; I absolutely loved those when I was younger!

This book sounds like fun! I love the idea of cartoon drawings in a book. I’m also a snoop and love writing people’s diaries, and then comparing their diaries to mine.

This sounds so cute!!! But doesn’t having the narrator so young make it more of a children’s book?

Jackie Kennedy wrote a book with illustrations about traveling in Europe one summer. This is very different but for some reason I’m reminded of it – and it’s worth checking out! One Special Summer is the title.
