As of today, it's less than two months until IT'S A MYSTERY, PIG FACE! enters the world.
In honour of that blessed event, I've decided to share an ARC with a lucky Middle Grade Minded Blog reader.
But then I thought about it. Why it hardly seemed enough. And since this is a giving time of year in many cultures, it seemed I ought to sweeten the pot.
Get it? Sweeten the Pot?
In IT'S A MYSTERY, PIG FACE! Tracy Munro defends the honour of her town's local candy factory, Ganong Bros. Limited, which she believes has the best chocolate and pink peppermints in the world. In fact, Tracy and Ralph and Lester (AKA Pig Face) believe that chomping on pink peppermints is a mystery-solving requirement:
Meanwhile, Ralph reached up, grabbed a thermal bag we'd left hanging on a nearby branch, and plunked down. He unzipped the top, pulled out a package of Ganong Pink Peppermints--also made at the local chocolate factory and our meeting candy of choice--and popped on into his mouth before passing the bag to me.
Ganong Bros. Limited is a real candy factory in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada. I grew up in St. Stephen and that's where the book is set. I happen to agree with Tracy that they make the best chocolate in the world!
(And by the way, they ship to Canada and the U.S, and overseas by request, so you can always order some yourself if you don't win!)

I liked the imagery presented through the excerpt from "It's a mystery, pig face". Brings out an image of powerful kids headed for a mission to sole mystery. I'd love to read it soon.
Thanks Mou!
I love a good mystery because they're - so mysterious! Love Ganongs! I remember going on a factory tour when I was a kid. The museum is on my NB- bucket list.
Yay!
I thought contest entry was open until midnight, tonight!!Wah!!!! Oh well, still looking forward to the launch of Pig-Face!
I'm the teacher that just tweeted! I thought I had to click the giveaway button but now see that maybe I only need to leave a comment to enter! Putting books in students hands is my prime mission and it's always special for them to read an ARC! We would love the chance to win! Thank you so much!
I think it clicked off early for some reason!!!
