Marvelous Middle Grade Monday: ONCE UPON THE END, by James Riley--and a giveaway!

Okay, I finally have an MMGM! And it's for a book I've been meaning to feature for weeks--the final book in a trilogy I've gushed about here before: ONCE UPON THE END, by James Riley. Check out the awesome cover:

Right??? And here's the official description from the publisher:

Will there be happily ever after? Don’t miss the fractured-fairy tale conclusion to the action-packed and humor-filled Half Upon a Time trilogy! Jack and May have gone their separate ways, and each is now set on course to fulfill their destiny…or are they? Nothing is ever quite as it seems in the world of fairy tales, and the two friends are in for some huge surprises as they prepare to battle the Wicked Queen once and for all. Knights, fairy godmothers, giants, and beanstalks—all of these and more fill the pages of the thrilling and hilarious conclusion to the Half Upon a Time trilogy!

Which... doesn't actually tell us much about the book. But that's the thing about book 3s--it's impossible to talk about them without spoiling the rest of the series. So I'm going to take a note from the flap copy and keep this vague. 
If you haven't read book 1 (HALF UPON A TIME) or book 2 (TWICE UPON A TIME) and you love hilarious fractured fairy tales, you NEED to read this series!!! (I've also gushed about them HERE and HERE). And if you HAVE read the first two, all I'll say is: you're going to love the end. I loved the first two in so so much, and yet somehow Riley managed to top himself in the third. I didn't think that would be possible, but I've never been happier to be proven wrong.
Which is why I'm giving away a copy. To enter, make sure you leave a comment on this post by 11:59 pm on Sunday, June 23rd. I'll draw one random winner and post their name on Monday, June 24th. International entries welcome!

If you would like to join in the MMGM fun, all you have to do is blog about a middle grade book you love (contests, author interviews and whatnot also count--but are most definitely not required) and email me the title of the book you're featuring and a link to your blog at SWMessenger (at) hotmail (dot) com. (Make sure you put MMGM or Marvelous Middle Grade Monday in the subject line so I see it)
NOTE: I used to not have a cut-off time for adding links to the post, but with how insane my schedule is right now, if you don't email me by Sunday evening (usually around 11pm PST is when I put the links together) I can't guarantee I'll have a chance to add you. BUT, you are welcome to add your link in the comments on this post so people can find you!

*Please note: these posts are not a reflection of my own opinions on the books featured. Each blogger is responsible for their own MMGM content and I do not pre-screen posts ahead of time, nor do I control what books they choose. I simply assemble the list based on the links that are emailed to me ahead of time
