I'm part of the Killer Penguins team--and even though I'm not sure if that matters to you guys, I CAN'T resist posting a mascot photo:

Phew--I feel better now. Okay, on to the race!
Here's a little info about my 2012 debut (*hint* read carefully--you'll be quizzed on it later)
~>*<~ KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES by Shannon Messenger Twelve-year-old Sophie Foster has a secret. She's a Telepath--someone who hears the thoughts of everyone around her. It's a talent she's never known how to explain.
Everything changes the day she meets Fitz, a mysterious boy who appears out of nowhere and also reads minds. She discovers there's a place she does belong, and that staying with her family will place her in grave danger. In the blink of an eye, Sophie is forced to leave behind everything and start a new life in a place that is vastly different from anything she has ever known.

Sophie has new rules to learn and new skills to master, and not everyone is thrilled that she has come “home.” There are secrets buried deep in Sophie's memory—secrets about who she really is and why she was hidden among humans—that other people desperately want. Would even kill for.

In this page-turning debut, Shannon Messenger creates a riveting story where one girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world, before the wrong person finds the answer first. Coming October 2, 2012 from Simon and Schuster (Aladdin).~>*<~
Got that? Good! You WILL be quizzed later. (Don't worry, I went out of my way to make the question easy). And if you're so bowled over by the awesomenes of that (or... feeling so loopy from hitting all these tour stops that you are DAZED AND IMPRESSIONABLE ) I should mention that you can pre-order Keeper through Amazon, B&N, and Indiebound. You can also like it on Facebook or add it to your Goodreads list.
Okay... shameless self promotion stuff over. You guys have a race to complete. And remember, you must complete ALL FIVE quizzes to be eligible for a prize pack.
But before you race away to the next stop--wait, there's more! I couldn't have you guys all come here and NOT offer a prize of my own. So I'm personally giving away three exclusive KEEPER swag packs to three lucky commenters. See:

And when I say exclusive--I mean it. This is swag I'll only be giving out at signings or VERY special occasions, and three of you will be the first to get your hands on it! 
How do you enter? Leave a comment on this post by 11:59 pm pacific time on Saturday, May 5th. I'll draw 3 winners and post their names on Sunday, May 6th.
Thanks for stopping by! Ready to move on?
