It's up to us to guess the meaning of your Resolution.
A Jury will be struck and two weeks from now a winner and two runners up will be announced.Criteria for judging the winning three entries will be articulated by the Jury on announcing their final decisions!
The winner will recieve one full set of Rattling Books audio titles (18 in total).The two runners-up will each recieve a copy of Merrybegot by Mary Dalton, the book that inspired this Facebook Group and a copy of The Big Why by Michael Winter in which the term "blue drop" appears so beautifully.
