What is a Proof-of-Purchase?

Proof-of-purchase is a photo/scan/screenshot of your receipt. You can order from any book retailer, but preferably Books & Books or your local indie! Click here to go to THE ADVENTURE IS NOW's page on the Macmillan website for full links.

 

And library requests count too?

Yes, library requests count too! If you didn’t know, most libraries allow you to request a book to add to their collection, either through a form on their website or a paper form at the location. If you complete one of these, please send a photo/scan/screen shot of the request. That’s your proof-of-purchase!

 

When filling out a request form for a library, you may need some of this info:

These are strange times to be bringing a new book into the world, and preorders are important now more than ever.  I’ve been so amazed by the support and interest the story has received already from educators, librarians, kids, and other very wise adult readers who love middle-grade fiction.  I hope that you'll support your local bookstore and support this story—and then I hope you'll let me say "Thank You!" by entering the campaign.
